*** REPLACE SOME OTHER LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I was fooling around with hack, playing with the -D option, and digging with a
wand of digging to see how deep I can reach. Anyway, on level 2 I fell into a
shop, where someone (OK, me, but under a different name) had emptied it and
then got killed, leaving a ghost. I killed the ghost, picked up some of its
treasure, and then dropped my leather armor. The message I got was:

You dropped a +0 leather armor. onbill: paid obj on bill?

Does this mean anything? Can it be useful when playing an honest (i.e. not -D)
game?

While we're on the topic of strange messages, I recently got a message that
went something like "Strange, this level is not as I remember it, this game is
void". The game ended, and when the score was printed, it said "tricked at
level xx". The bones_xx file for that level was not deleted. Deleting it cured
the problem. Does this simply mean that the bones_xx file had become
corrupted?

The above refers to hack 1.0.2

Thanks,
