Does ANYBODY out there have sources for rogue 3.6? Somebody has got to and isn't fessing up because of 1) laziness, 2) rudeness 3) just plain callousness. You won't even have to send the thing over the net and overload it. Just communicate with me, PLEASE??? David C.

As ludicrous (sp) as it may sound to all of you out there, the source to rogue is not, I repeat NOT in the public domain. I don't blame anyone for not giving it out. We who wrote the program do have some rights, you know. -Glenn

While we're on the subject, Agian I plead for ANY information on a version of rogue (6.0?) called SUPER ROGUE. Please, no matter how minor, Any information will be appreciated. -Ben Walls ...cbosgd!bsw

The version of rogue know here at IH as Super Rogue is version 7.0. I believe it is a private copy of the source that was doctored up by some people that I used to work with. It is a great version, with monsters that shoot arrows and crossbow bolts at you. I had a copy of the executable code only, and I could never get past level 8 ! I wish I could get a copy of this source also! Russ Sehnoutka BTL - Naperville, Ill. ..!ihnp4!ihuxb!genesis

Regardless of what Ken Arnold says or does, rogue IS in the pub- lic domain. It was developed on research machines owned by the State of California under the jurisdiction of the University of California. As a taxpayer, I resent the fact that it is not available from Berkeley. The reason that it is not generally available is because Ken has managed to keep it secure (with the unwitting cooperation of the staff at UC Berkeley). The only rights the authors of rogue have (unless they are part of the teaching staff at Berkeley) is to have their names included in all documentation written about the program. Ken did much of the development from 3.6 to 5.2 on ucbarpa. I understand that he has managed to find a benefactor at some in- dustrial site to continue development (fortune?). I hope that this industrial site is going to gouge a royalty fee for using their machine. He has some delusions of making a fortune (no pun intended) selling this at some future date. He had better hurry up. It will be out of date by the time he incorporates and goes public with the binary. Incidentally, primary credit for rogue should go to Michael C. Toy. All others are mere charlatans who only enhanced the game (boy, do I expect some hate mail for this statement). Larry Dwyer ucbvax!hpda!ld
