I found this bug (in 5.2), which is nasty. 1) when rogue starts up, it opens the top 10 file and LEAVES IT OPEN 2) a 'save rogue' saves the entire data area, including the open file structure 3) when the game is restored, the file structure may be totally WRONG if anything has touched the top 10 file since then The proper fix requires the source, of course. Otherwise, just be careful out there! Merlyn Leroy "...a dimension between shallow and substance, between science and superficial, a place we call...The Usenet Zone"
