[net.games.rogue] rogue source PLEASE

stewartd (03/25/83)

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???

	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.

		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.

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!

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  It will be out of date by the  time  he  incorporates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).
