"eq" is kinda spammy. It doesn't help that there's 9 lines at the end to
describe your armour coverage..

You have almost non-existent protection against general damage.
You have non-existent protection against bashing.
You have non-existent protection against cutting.
You have almost non-existent protection against stabbing.
A bit over half of your body is covered by armour.
Your armour improves your general protection to be meager.
Your armour improves your protection against bashing to be little.
Your armour improves your protection against cutting to be meager.
Your armour improves your protection against stabbing to be meager.

Could be shortened by almost half by something like:

A bit over half of your body is covered by armour.
Your armour improves your general protection from non-existent to meager.
Your armour improves your bashing protection from non-existent to little.
Your armour improves your cutting protection from non-existent to meager.
Your armour improves your stabbing protection from non-existent to meager.

I'm assuming that "eq" obeys cutter width.. why doesn't news?

I used to do this (especially as a barsoomian, the spam gets unwieldly).
However, other eq commands (like eq weight) won't work with that command (and
you have to do stuff like @@eq weight).

Also 'eq brief' does not show coverage and protection which people
may want to know.

--Hair

I still want to see my prot level and coverage, 9 lines is just a little much.
That being said, you gave me an idea which does work just fine:

command eq grep -v '^You have' equipment $*

Now I just feel sorry for all the new players or anyone that missed this
thread..
