I am looking for the source to the game of Rogue, with the intention of porting it to the Amiga. I know Epyx wrote a version some years ago, but I want one to be public domain. ...Ronny

Question 9 in the news.announce.newusers "Answers to Frequently Asked Questions" posting: 9. rec.games.*: Where can I get the source for empire or rogue? You can't get the source of rogue. The authors of the game, as is their right, have chosen not to make the sources available. However, several rogue-like games have been posted to the comp.sources.games group and they are available in the archives. You can obtain the source to a version of empire if you provide a tape and SASE *plus* a photocopy of your UNIX source license. To obtain further info, contact mcnc!rti-sel!polyof!john. You can also call John at +1 516 454-5191 (9am-9pm EST only). Sites with Internet access can ftp several versions of empire from site g.ms.uky.edu Also, please note that the wizards' passwords in games like these are usually system-dependent and it does no good to ask the net-at-large what they are. I encourage you to read the FAQ posting. If it has expired at your site, you can wait until it is posted again, or anonymous ftp it from pit-manager.mit.edu from the file /pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/Answers_to_Frequently_Asked_Questions or send mail to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" with a subject or body of send usenet/news.announce.newusers/Answers_to_Frequently_Asked_Questions -- Jonathan Kamens USnail: MIT Project Athena 11 Ashford Terrace jik@Athena.MIT.EDU Allston, MA 02134 Office: 617-253-8085 Home: 617-782-0710
