You may be surprised to find that Rog-O-Matic, written by Andrew
Appel, Leonard Hamey, Guy Jacobson and Michael Mauldin at
Carnegie-Mellon University has been available for public consumption
since May 1982. Rog-O-Matic XII is available from CMU, and version
VII has been at Berkeley since August of 1982.
Rog-O-Matic is written in C for Unix systems. Rog-O-Matic has also
been ported to VMS using Rice Phoenix. Rog-O-Matic has been a total
winner against Rogue 3.6, and has scored 7730 against Rogue 5.2 (quit
while ascending from level 27 with the amulet).
Since our paper "Rog-O-Matic: A Belligerent Expert System" was not
accepted to AAAI-83, it will be released this summer as a technical
report of CMU. Copies of the draft may be obtained by sending net
mail to "mauldin@CMU-CS-A", or by writing

The source code is also publicly available, and can be mailed via the
net. Or, mail a magtape to the address above, and we'll put it there
for you.
