[I keep forgetting to do this]

	Rogue (1.0 and later Mctesq was here versions) will work on
    any size screen as long as it is defined correctly in the /etc/termcap
    entry.  On very small screens Rogue has a tendancy to bomb out because
    it is trying to place to many objects in not enough spaces.  The program
    should probably modify all its probabilities based on screen size.
    (Otherwise, small screen games are easier, you get just as much food,
    but you have less space to explore).
	No changes to the source need to be made, though.
