I've refrained from opening my mouth on this subject, but I can see that
this is one of those "I want a copy, too" things.

First, UltraRogue is based on Advanced Rogue 1.8 from Bell Labs, though
it is looking less and less like the original everyday.  The original
hacker is Herb Chong who is currently working feverishly on version 1.03
(1.02 is the current release).

While the source is *not* availible except to a small group of people,
myself included, working on enhancements and bug fixes, binary
versions *are* availible with no restrictions.  In fact, an article
was posted several months ago from one of the URogue hackers at Berkeley
announcing the availiblity of the binary via anonymous ftp from
ucbvax.  Last time I checked, though, something had happened to the
copy of ucbvax.  If need warants, I can make a binary copy (for VAX
4.2BSD) availible, also via anonymous ftp on ARPAnet.

I'd also like to say that version 1.03 is nearing completion (according
to Herb Chong) and will go into Beta testing shortly after that.
When 1.03 is ready for wide distribution, an announcement will be
made to this group (net.games.rogue) concerning retrivial.  Again,
only binary copies will be distributed.

Did I miss anything, Herb?
