I am having trouble getting the save/restore to work. It looks like
restore() is sending encread() off into never-never land to get 100+
Kbytes (which corresponds to the size of the rogue.save's I'm getting.)
Since I've never seen this function working, I have some two questions
that might help me in my debugging:
(1) About how big should rogue.save be?
(2) How long should it take to restore?
Also, I've been poking around a bit and it looks fairly trivial to
disable the save file checking which everybody is complaining about.
Why hasn't anybody done that? Is there something more involved here
which I am overlooking? TIA! (=thanks in advance)

I also seem to remember seeing other similar notes in this group- I mean, of people getting in and changing rogue around. I know our people did it with rogue 5.2, making a "departmental rogue" out of it: "the qual chairman hits --more--" "a probing question has weakened you" -mike schwager (ihnp4!uiucdcs!schwager)

To put in interesting messages in place of the ones that come
with rogue, one edits the binary with a debugger.
Lengthy and tedious, but occasionally rewarding....
