Rogue on PDP-11: HELP
Help!
Has anyone run into these bugs with Rogue on an 11?
The dragons don't seem to get initialized properly, so
that the games get a bus error (and mercifully, I guess)
saves the game when you try to enter some rooms with a dragon
in them. It might not fail on a Vax at all! But its a
bummer to be down at level 20+ and not be able to get to
the stairs because a dragon is in that room. [A "cloak
of darkness" potion got me around the bug once, but ...]
Also, after a while you can't save the game any more. I think
its because the data for all the levels won't let fopen get
a buffer. This happened at level 27 or so.
Does anyone have the fixes?
Bummed out,
Mark Wallen (wallen@nprdc or ucbvax!sdcsvax!wallen)
