The only way to avoid this is to do it by hand. In spite of the authors pleas to replay via mail, I am posting this because of feel that it is of general interest to the everyone. I am contantly finding myself caught by srogue's paralysis bug, but after a few untimely deaths, I figured out how to save myself: interrupt the game with a ^C ( or whatever your interrupt is). It will ask you if you want to quit - say no and continue playing. You are unfrozen and can beat on it again. Note that you must do this *quickly* before it kills you. tom -- Tom Christiansen University of Wisconsin Computer Science Systems Lab ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,uwm-evax}!uwvax!tom tom@wisc-crys.arpa
