rogue scores
	If you all remember, I sent out a brief blurb on the game
"rogue" a week or two ago, and since then I have gotten many replies,
both in my personal mail, and through news. I have received many
"rogue -s" point summaries, some with totals into the millions,
and levels up to 200.

	I wanted to be able to take all of the scores I received and
create a "top 25" list, which cut across different Unix sites.
However I have been told that some of the scores represent game
versions with bugs that allow the player to save games, continue till
death, and then pick up a level or so back, to try again. This
is an unfair advantage, especially since our version does not allow
this!!!!! In any case, I would still like to compile my list,
and would ask any sites with the desire to send me your scores.
It may make sense to add a column to the score table which indicates
the rogue version played, in case there is an "advantage factor".

	Finally, one site sent me a piece of mail asking about rogue
on an 11/44, I assume running V7. In my haste to leave last night
(about 1:30 A.M., level 19) I managed to lose the mail item.
Personally, I don't know that much about the game, however the size
of the executable on the VAX is larger than the address space on
an 11. I assume that there is a version (possibly the original?) on the
11, however possibly watered down. I would ask that any sites
with such information put it in the news for the benefit of that
site. Sorry...
