Yes, except that I'd forgotten. They must have been in the Atari ST version I was playing in the early nineties (which required a second floppy drive for its scratch files).

I had either 1.4f or some version of PC Hack, before I got into BBSes and found 3.1 and the excellent WCST spoilers.

Why did they take them out?

Read the linked article -- they apparently were a significant cause of YASD.

...if you suffer from YASD, ask your doctor if Nethack is right for you.
