This is the section of code that checks for "E-" not unwielding your
cursed whatever. This is not a diff because this is from our original
1.03 sources. I suspect many people have trouble with 1.03 because there
were (probably) two different postings. When we updated to 1.03 I
requested sources from several people, but the "data.h" files came
with dates differing by about 2 weeks. Anyway, here is the 'fix'.

--- code is from hack.engrave.c ---
if(otmp && otmp->otyp == WAN_FIRE && otmp->spe) {
type = BURN;
otmp->spe--;
} else {
/* first wield otmp */
if(otmp != uwep) {
> if(uwep && uwep->cursed) {
> /* Andreas Bormann */
> pline("Since your weapon is welded to your hand,");
> pline("you use the %s.", aobjnam(uwep, (char *) 0));
> otmp = uwep;
> } else {
if(!otmp)
pline("You are now empty-handed.");
else if(otmp->cursed)
pline("The %s %s to your hand!",
aobjnam(otmp, "weld"),
(otmp->quan == 1) ? "itself" : "themselves");
else
pline("You now wield %s.", doname(otmp));
setuwep(otmp);
> }
}
.... etc ...
}
