An addition to THe NetHack Object Identification Spoiler b..

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack (More info?)

Hello all and especially David,

I was thinking that something like this might be added to David's
excelent document: The NetHack Object Identification Spoiler.

Under the heading 'Wands' somewhere in the first paragraph:

Consider wearing an unidentified ring and amulet before engraving so
that if the wand is identified as enlightenment you'll be able to
identify the ring and the amulet.

David, are you aware of the inability to name certain ordinary objects
as certain artifacts?

Weren't the spoiler regularly posted to rgrn, once upon a time?

Except when updated for new versions, _if_ the changes have been
significant enough to warrant it. I make enough ongoing minor tweaks,
additions, clarifications, typo-fixes and general fiddling that
posting every time I change something would be a Bad Idea.

Tarballed, actually :-) But most people should be able to cope with
that.
