When the game is restarted, I get a message like: "Save file has been touched. Score will not be posted." The file has not been touched. I suspect that the modification time is written somewhere near the beginning of the savefile. If time changes before the end of the file is written, rogue could think the file was touched when it tries to restart from that file. Is this really how it works? Is there a fix for the problem? kelem@aerospace or ...!trwrb!aerospace!kelem
