Since someone gave away my strategy for using ghosts to win, I'll give away an 
even better strategy, if somewhat time-consuming.  Play wizard until you get
a wand of wishing.  (Zap your wands immediately, quit if no wand of wishing.)
When you get one, wish for : +6 plate mail, 3 scrolls of genocide, and 3 more
scrolls of genocide.  Genocide c's, k's, D's, N's, R's, and x's .  Of course,
this strategy is about as much fun as playing Adventure2.  Credit goes to Brian
Sturgill, University of Kentucky for this method of trivializing Hack.

(I am broadcasting this spoiler in the hope that the author will correct it in
future versions, restoring some challenge to the game.)
