	"DONT leave the dog alone on a different level too long, if you
	do, it will forget you and stop fighting for you.  It will also
	not accept food from you anymore, AND (most importantly) if you
	should accidently hit it, it will turn on you and attack to the
	death.  This problem seems to be worse when there's a ghost on
	the level you left the dog at."

You can make the dog friendly again by throwing it food.  Tripe rations
are best, but food rations will work as well.  You'll see the message
"<Fido> devours the <food>"; the word "devours" lets you know that Fido
wasn't as friendly before but is now.

This works for any dog, not just the one you start with.  You can
befriend a ghost's dog.  You can even befriend the Hell Hound, who will
then fight for you!

	"Leprechauns can't teleport until they've robbed you, but thay
	can run away."

When they're running away, they will teleport (randomly) about once in
40 times.

	"Shopkeepers don't get angry when you rob them, they just
	follow you around nagging you."

This is great when you are wearing a ring of conflict.  The shopkeeper
will trash pretty much any monster that tries to bother you.  If it's a
really *big* monster and he trashes the shopkeeper, you can pick up his
gold without having lost luck by killing a human yourself.  Of course,
you then have a *big* monster to deal with.

To avoid getting stuck in a dead end with a shopkeeper blocking the
way, you should only do this if either you can teleport or you have a
pick-axe.

	"How do you wield a cockatrice without getting turned into
	stone yourself?"

Wear gloves.

	"How do you get past invisible force fields?"

You are only told about invisible force fields when there's a system
problem, such as a full disk preventing the creation of a new level
file.  Check with your system experts.

	"What do you do when an eel is attacking you from the water
	(you can't attack back, because the eel might swim away and
	you'd drown yourself)?"

Wear a ring of see invisible and you can see the eel in the pool.  You
can also attain intrinsic "see invisible" ability by eating a dead
invisible stalker while invisible (via the potion).

All this is true of hack version 1.0.3.
