Ah, then you want Adjacent Ropes. I've just added a new version of
this patch to http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Jsw/patches.html ; this
not only fixes references to IX+9, as the one in JSWED does, but to
IX+11 as well.
I only noticed today that the arrow guardian leaves gaps in its
definition for a preceding rope guardian to use, so that arrows can go
after a rope (as happens in the Beach). If the rope guardian can be
fixed, then that leaves the possibility of extra arrow configuration.
Hmmm.

to positioning the toilet; so if you're using JSWED, that could cause
this or a similar effect.
(Feel free to demand that I stop creating silly variants of the JSW
engine and do something useful like fixing JSWED!)
