    Here are two questions for all of you rogue wizards:

    1) at what level do i first have a chance to find the amulet of yendor?
       and, if i miss it on one level, what is the possibility of it appearing
       on the next level down, ect.

    2) for some reason, everytime i get a good game going 4500+ i seem to
       get killed by a black unicorn.  know assuming i don't have anything
       interesting, how do i kill it. ( last time, as in about 10 hours ago
       from this posting, i was killed having about 55 hit points, a
       +3,0 two handed sword, +7 enchanted armour, and strength of 20.
       i didn't have any scrolls, or potions that would help, but when
       i ran into it, i had a wand and a staff that i as yet hadn't 
       identified. 

    
       this applies to version 5.2 of rogue ----- and suggestions and hints
       would be very much appreciated.
