It seems that a lot of the gold at lower levels, particularly any dropped by Leprechauns, 1. produces no message when picked up and 2. reduces ones amount of gold on hand. Is this negative (Anti-) gold a bug or a new (mis-) feature ? Since gold is the basis of the recorded high score it is real annoying to make it down to level 25 and find you have less gold than someone who only make it to 12. This combined with the new method of posting scores almost insures that ones best games will never be posted. I tend to think this must be a bug since there is no 'you purse feels lighter' message and nothing in the new documentation about gold eating gremlins hiding in gold pots(Pot-Men?). If not, come-on Ken, don't we have enough taxes in real (?) life. Tom Neuendorffer (a.k.a. Sir Sidney Fudd) U. of Pgh. (...!duke!mcnc!IDIS!tom) P.S.
