Several of the machines here at BTL Holmdel (in particular hou2a and
hou2b, which are 3B-20's) have Super-Rogue 7.0.  I rarely use this
account, since most of my work is done on other machines here,
but I logged on the other night, did some work, and started to play
rogue.  There was a lower-case u chasing me around, and eventually
"The ulodyte hits -- More" "You are bitten".  Anyway, I did a v ,
found this was Super-Rogue 7.0, and looked around for documentation,
none of which appears to exist.  I got to level 3 or 4, and saved
the game.

The differences I've noticed so far include:
	26 lower-case monsters, with undocumented behaviours.
	character attributes include Dexterity, Wisdom, and ??,
		which can be displayed by the user and affected by magic.
	Encumbrances:  Instead of the normal-rogue limit of 26
		objects in your pack, items now have weights, and
		you are limited as to total weight you can carry.
		This limit is noticably affected by hunger.  Thus,
		if you are weak from hunger, you can't necessarily
		pick up a scroll, and may even have to drop things
		to keep moving.
	Higher quantities or enchanted items.  Either I just had a
		good roll in generating my character, or it is
		normal to start life with a +two-handed sword and
		+2 ring mail.  I quickly found some plate mail and
		also padded armor, which seems to be about like +0
		ring mail (??) (Is it non-rusting or something?)

Those of you using normal rogue, please bear with us.  In the
meantime, could people asking questions about Super-rogue 7.0 or
other bizarre versions please say so in your article titles?
(Non-bizarre == 3.6, 3.7, or 5.2)
