I'm using 5.3 rogue and would like to know if anyone has discovered how to
copy rogue save files.
Before I get innundated with flames about cheating -- I've gotten very
frustrated with 5.3 bugs ruining some of my best games. On many occasions
I've had a very good game going, when for some reason my inventory list gets
mangled, often losing some of my best items. I can usually continue, but the
first time that it tries to put a new item in the place (letter slot) of one
of the lost items, rogue saves the game (without any message!) and exits.
Restoring the saved game works, but as soon as I try to move, rogue saves the
game and exits again.
I'm looking at copying rogue save files as a form of insurance versus rogue
bugs. If anyone has any other suggestions, such as what I need to do to
avoid tickling the bugs, I'd be happy to hear them.
Please note that this is my first posting to the USENET, and I'm not sure
about my UUCP address.
