[] I was fooling around with the -D mode in hack 1.0.2 and got my hit points to go negative (this bug/feature has been discussed before), so I quit and got a tombstone that read: "killed by a quit while already on Charo". Does this have anything to do with the hoochy-coochy girl sometimes seen on The Love Boat and elsewhere on TV? And just what was I doing on her anyway? All jokes aside, I would like to know what this means. Paul van de Graaf sdcsvax!sdcc13!ee163ahj U. C. San Diego

It should read "while already on Charon's boat." You Know, The guy who took dead dudes across the river Styx. Ben Walls bsw@cbosgd.UUCP

>...and got a tombstone that read: "killed by a quit while already on Charo". On the old hack, we got "xxx quit while already on Charon's boat". This means your command was 'quit', but the monster(s) get one last swing, and they would have killed you anyway. Charon is the skeletal figure that has the ferry franchise to Hades.
