References: Since mentioning that I know of a way to acquire AC -9 in Rogue 3.6, I have been besieged with personal mail asking for the secret. I had no idea that the method was not well known. Rather than make many personal replies, I would like to publish the bug allowing ac -9, and also two other fun, cheating ways of getting easier-to-win games (including how to score over 1,000,000,000 points). I'm going to wait about 48 hours first, to see whether someone wishes to persuade me NOT to publish the bugs. When (if) I publish them, I will clearly mark the message so that those who wish to can avoid reading it. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE PERSONAL REQUESTS FOR THE BUG!! Just watch this discussion group. By the way, all three bugs are corrected in Rogue 5.2. - Toby Robison decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison or: allegra!eosp1!robison (maybe: princeton!eosp1!robison)

One bug in 5.2 that isn't corrected is the one that allows you to ^Z at critical points and kill the process (-1) so that it saves to your file. It is corrected in 5.6 (that we just got), however. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
