[net.games.rogue] Re Wizzard

Your query should have gone in net.games.rogue, but... there
is NO wizard mode in rogue 5.2 (yes, only one z in wizard),
for anyone who doesn't know. Wizard mode was a feature designed
to let the authors get around quickly in the game for debugging
purposes. They probably left it out of 5.2 because a) much of
the tricky code was debugged already, and b) to stop people
from breaking it and becoming wizards.
The 100+ hit point bug on level 1 was the original bug that
delayed release of rogue 5.2 - you must have an old version
from the (limited) first release. It was quickly fixed for the
next release. (Then there was the negative gold bug, etc etc)
