From: avatar@pnet51.orb.mn.org I was wondering where I might find the source to the program ROGUE. I understand it is written in C, and I'm wondering if the source code is available. Please e-mail responses to the address at the TOP of this letter (as this is not my regular account). Thanks in advance! -- "If civilization owes a debt of gratitude to the self-sacrificing sports- men who have cleared the Adirondack region of Catamounts and savage trout, what shall be said of the army which has so nobly relieved them of the terror of the deer?" -Charles Dudley Warner

I was wondering where I might find the source to the program
ROGUE. I understand it is written in C, and I'm wondering if
the source code is available. Please e-mail responses to
the address at the TOP of this letter (as this is not my
regular account). Thanks in advance!
There should be some way to perform a "remote execution" (a phrase I first saw
used in this context by Randall Schwartz) on someone who posts questions
before reading the Unix Frequently Asked Questions list.
If you take a look at that document, you will find the following:
9. rec.games.*: Where can I get the source for ... 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 should note that this is question 9 out of 40. It has been on the list
from its beginning a decade ago (plus or minus).
Nice to see that people haven't changed.
