Jolt then goes and swallows various enemy creatures that sometimes die and sometime get regurgitated. The problem occurs when they die. Nethack 3.0 seems to draw the corpse on top of the vortex so that I can't see that the vortex is still in that spot. It has only been a minor inconvenience since it won't let you hit your tame pet, but it does cost you a move which could be trouble if there are other monsters around. _______________________________________________________________________________ ____ \ / ____ Laurence S.
