    You need to quit, I think, to get the winner tombstone. If you die
    before then, it's not a complete win.

    Yep, I went and killed an AMHD just for the heck of it (didn't really
    even need the potions for it, since with two Rings of Speed you can >pillar-dance them), then quit to get the win screen and "died of Ripe
    Old Age" tombstone :-)

    Congratulations! :-)

    Is there any particular reason you posted this reply to comp.lang.awk

    The usual reason for messages posted to the wrong conversation - obvious

    Quite some time ago I did the same thing (also here in this newsgroup,
    IIRC), concerning rec.games.roguelike.nethack in my case. Funnily awk
    users seem to have some relation to roguelikes? :-)
