I finally got a winner (although I did use save files)!  I got to a point
where everything but the Balrog was childs play.  What finally put me over the
top was finding the R armor.

I used two potions of invulnerability and three runes of protection (he broke
one and teleported me off of the other two occasionally).  Then I just hit
him with my wands.  I never even used my HA.

Also, it took for EVER to find each ring of speed!
