Your query should have gone in net.games.rogue, but... there is NO wizard mode in rogue 5.2 (yes, only one z in wizard), for anyone who doesn't know. Wizard mode was a feature designed to let the authors get around quickly in the game for debugging purposes. They probably left it out of 5.2 because a) much of the tricky code was debugged already, and b) to stop people from breaking it and becoming wizards. The 100+ hit point bug on level 1 was the original bug that delayed release of rogue 5.2 - you must have an old version from the (limited) first release. It was quickly fixed for the next release. (Then there was the negative gold bug, etc etc)

Maybe we do not have a current version but ours is version 5.2
and we DO have wizard mode. To access it just type ^p and type in the
secret password. The reason you may not have wizard mode is because the
program must be compiled with a wizard option defined.
