El Paso EE & CS Keywords: *** ERSETZEN SIE DIESE LINIE MIT DIENE NACHRICHT! *** Perchance, could someone tell me what the cryptic line: "He's dead, Jim." means? One of our users was trying to zap rogue's score file out of existence, and succeeded (somehow). The file was still there, but I had to re-install it to get rogue to start recording scores again. However, while it was not working, this message would be displayed occasionally when someone did a "rogue -s". Also, if someone could tell me why the person was able to make the file die even though he did not have write permission to it, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance. -- Bryan R.

(mctesq was here)) it has repeatedly happened that when somebody started playing, saved and restored and then made the top ten list, the top ten list was garbled and had to be removed. I don't have sources so cannot shed any further light on this bug.
