i have access to 4 versions of rogue, 3.6 hacked, PC rogue, 5.3, and advanced
rogue 2.0 hacked.  all versions except 3.6 seem to have various kinds of
rustproof armor like leather, padded, etc.  however, on my 3.6, leather
armor rusts too.  you just have to have several different armors and
change them around as neccessary until you get past the rust monsters.
if you are running a different version, then perhaps it has a design
oversight :-).  from my readings, it seems that only 3.6 should have this.
besides, the advanced rogues are so much more challenging that only
my rogomatic program plays 3.6.  our 5.3 was removed to make room for
advanced rogue 2.0.
