[net.games.rogue] A retraction

ld (04/06/83)

In my previous posting, I gave credit for rogue to Mike Toy.  This was
based upon the authorship of "The Guide to the Dungeons of Doom".  Upon
further investigation (and a gentle prod from Glenn Wichman) I find
that someone else deserves credit, namely Glenn.

The rest of my posting still stands until disproven.

I was sure that rogue was written by Ken Arnold, but now someone else
is claiming credit for it? Someone please clarify...

The version of "A Guide To The Dungeons of Doom" that came with
version 3.6 *ONLY* list Mike Toy as the author.  It was not until
version 5.2 that Ken Arnold showed up in the official credits.

Hey everybody:
	Michael Toy is the author to the Guide to the Dungeons of Doom.
    He is the only author of that document.  That is why he is listed as
    the only author of that document.  That does not imply that he is the
    only author of Rogue.  Since Ken's and my independant history lessons
    did not seem to set the record straight, I will point it out once again:

	Michael Toy, Glenn R. Wichman, and Ken Arnold are together the
    authors of Rogue.  None of us (to the best of my knowledge) is claiming
    any more credit than any other of us.  Okay?  enough said?  Can I go now?
