by saying "disarming" rather than "disrobing" when manipulating
just the three weapon slots. Handling weapons in combination
with armor or accessories or both still says "disrobing" though.
The case when dealing with just accessories should pick something
else, but the closest I've thought up so far is "divesting" and
I don't think that works very well. Is there a better term for
taking off jewelry? If so, would it end up being out of place
when applied to nethack's selection of eyewear?

Fix some inconsistencies in armor handling. The 'T' command
wouldn't let you take off a suit or shirt if you were wielding a
cursed two-handed weapon, which makes sense; however, the 'A'
command neglected to impose the same restriction. Also, the 'W'
command had some code intended to prevent you from donning a suit
or shirt while wielding such a cursed weapon, but it didn't work.
This patch fixes the 'A' command's checks for whether an
item can be removed and it makes the 'T' and 'R' commands use the
same code as 'A' instead of maintaining multiple sets of checks.
It also fixes the trivial 'W' problem and attempts to prevent the
sequence of 1) get interrupted while removing a set of equipment
including suit and/or shirt; 2) wield a cursed two-handed weapon
or have already wielded one become cursed; 3) resume removing
armor via 'A' but I haven't tried to trigger that situation to
confirm the bug or this fix.
Monster centaurs can't wear boots, and characters who polymorph
into centaurs have their boots pushed off, but there was nothing to
prevent such characters from putting those boots right back on.
- report: twoweapon mode, eat fried food, get messages like:
Your sword slips from your hands.
Your sword also slips from your hands.
- the fix tracks the kind of the 1st weapon, and adds "other" to the 2nd
message if necessary
Change the prompts for P and R commands to use "put on" instead
of "wear" and "remove" instead of "take off", respectively; W and T
commands aren't affected. There is no change in game play.
