M. Barrie. I think that Kay should have also mentioned: "A software person does not read the manual until every other means of gaining his/her end has failed." GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I quote from net.announce.newusers, the only un-unsubscribable group SO PEOPLE NEW TO THE NET WILL READ IT!!!: Newsgroups: net.announce.newusers Subject: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (Last changed: 14 July 1985) 10. net.games: Where can I get the source for empire or rogue? You can't. The authors of these games, as is their right, have chosen not to make the sources available. Now, to Kay and the original poster of the rogue sources request: If this is somehow not available on your system (net.announce.newusers), please let me know via mail and I will send you a full copy. If it is available, READ ALL THE ARTICLES IN net.announce.newusers BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING ELSE. Thanks, and my apologies to my fellow netters for clogging net.wanted.sources with this stuff. Wasn't net.announce.newusers supposed to stem the tide we get whenever the students come back from summer/Christmas breaks? -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
