A few things about the Rogue Clone III...

Comments:
The docs say it was distributed as S16; it's an EXE.  No big deal...
It *does* work on a 768K machine, although it crashed once (around 00/2000).
The "save" option wants the save DIRECTORY, not the save FILE.  Make sure to
  end the prefix with a slash ("/").
Some commands are different (from the docs; the on-line help is correct):
  & does the screen dump
  \ does the "print found out" stuff

Suggestions:
It might be nice to have a way for Finder users to restore saved games
  (maybe check the existence of the default file, printing appropriate
  messages if something goes wrong...)
A list of MouseText character usage and some info about the "added features"
  would be nice.

Overall, this is very nicely done.  Since the game crashes from time to
time, maybe you could let us know how to make copies of the saved games...?
