If I play a game of rogue but am unable to finish it I can not save it and re-start it. What happens is: in the game I type "S" is says is /qt/allan/rogue.save ok and I say yes. when i want to restart the game I use the command "rogue /qt/allan/rogue.save" or even "rogue -r" and it says "Sorry, saved game is not is the same file." does anyone out there know why, also how can I get it to work correctly. thanks, Allan (qusavx!allan)

There is also the curious limit of 17 saves of a game on (our) rogue 5.2.
If you think about the total number of file descriptors allowed by a single
program and subtract "stdin", "stdout", and "stderr", 17 becomes very
interesting. Has this limitation been fixed? It was VERY dissapointing
when I hit this one. The file only had five (5!) bytes in it and four of them
where "junk". Sigh, but I still enjoy rogue. I'm sure you're busy with
important things Ken, but do you think you could fix this one (if not already)?
Thanks.

Just reading through some old news and came across a great one from early September with someone griping to Ken about a limit of 17 saved games. Why would ANYONE want to save more than 17 games????
