If you use C (APW/MPWIIGS) you'll probably end (your code) with a call to
exit() which in turn calls _Quit, as rogue does.

Whenever I get around to another release version of rogue, I'll be sure to
release it as S16, as advertised, since most anyone who would prefer it to
be an EXE can make the change trivially.
