Use wand of digging, from Minotaur, to break apart immovable rocks on
the maze level.  (Push rocks that can be moved). Under one of these
rocks will be a wand of wishing.  You can use this if your luck is
high enough (go throw some gems at a Unicorn if not, good way to catch
up with a unicorn is to drink a potion of speed), to wish for whatever
you don't have.  (i.e. ring of teleport control).  It's also useful to
get a potion/wand of levitation, to get over the moat to the
hellhound and the Wizard.

Any other questions?  I "broke" hack at work last summer, when someone
made it so a) all items are known and b) after eating a dead giant
rat, you go to 31st level.  Yes, it was cheating, but yes, it was FUN.

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
Once when i was on the maze level i fell through a trap door to level 28.
After i few seconds i realized it looked exactly like level 27! I didn't 
look for another amulet but when i went up, the up staircase was in the same
place proving that the two levels we're identical. Pretty weird huh???

Maybe you could wish for those things which you don't have.
"But I don't have a wand of wishing!"
You don't explore levels completely, do you?

I wouldn't think so.  What happens when you fire it downward?

Oliver's law of assumed responsibility:
	"If you are seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it."

Since I acquired my very own set of these imaginary 1.0.3 sources
I have been happily hacking them to pieces.

I got peeved that I couldn't tell where I was when I couldn't see
myself so now my cursor shows where I am, even invisible.

I died a few times, picking up corpses of cockatrices so I added
an option 'pickup'. If set, everything is as it was. If negated,
I have to explicitly pick things up, but moving onto a spot
fakes a look ( ':' command ) so that I know "everything" that is
there.

I am now planning to age inherent abilities, and add teleport
control and speed as the special effects of some appropriate
beasties.

Anyone interested?

	I tried to send mail to Nigel, but my system couldn't find you. So,
YES, YES and YES.  I would love a copy.  Also I would LOVE the source. Either
before or after the modifications.  If you want blank disks, let me know.

    Why stop there?  Why not make all the monsters on a level visible
ALL the time, or -2 leather armor totally invulnerable, or, better yet,
why not just have the game say "I KNOW WHEN I'M BEATEN - YOU WIN" as 
soon as you start? :-)

    Seriously, though, "pickup" is a good idea (Don Kneller implemented
it in PC-HACK), and one he did, which I think was even better, was "caution"
which keeps you from killing your doggie by mistake. (Hit your dog, it asks
if you really want to attack before attacking.)

	You try to feel what is lying here on the floor.

	Touching the dead cockatrice is a fatal mistake ...

Nothing. "The floor here seems too hard to dig in."

You probably get a face full of dust.  Anyway, level 28 is the same as 27, so
it wouldn't do any good.  

Hint:  You DO (can) use the wand of digging.
       You don't have to leave level 27
       Search EVERYWHERE (very important)
       potion of object detection couldn't hurt
