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!!!:

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?
