[comp.sys.apple] Rogue III on Apple2-L

edward@pro-harvest.UUCP (Edward Floden) (06/02/89)

Has anyone successfully BinSCII'd part 1 of 4 of the Rogue III posting on
apple2-L?  I get a bad checksum message when processing that part; the others
unBinSCII correctly.  Is the file corrupted, or am I just lucky? :)

I was successful in unpacking all 4 parts.  I would suggest that you
request another copy of the file from the APPLE2-L list server at
BROWNVM.

I have the program up and running, no problems at all.  Only thing is it
is in .EXE format instead or the .SYS format I was led to expect by the docs.
Works fine from a shell, though I can't restore a saved game.
