I agree.  Also, I would like to point out that PC Rogue is NOT the only
version available for an IBM PC.  Also, Advanced Rogue 5.5 is a descendant
of version 4.5 (4.9 also), and 5.4 is a 5.3 descendant.

Also, you say that I said that,
	"... most people trying rogue 5.5 will change back to hack. ..."

This is not anywhere near the correct quote I used.  In fact, it's the
EXACT opposite.  I said that hack players trying 5.5 will return to playing
rogue.

You say that "... time for another HACK distribution?"  Hack 1.0.3 was
posted but a few weeks ago.  I seriously doubt that ANYONE could make
such drastic changes to a game such as hack so quickly.  Not only that,
HACK is public-domain.  ($$ games will be changed quicker for a profit)

It seems that you have a very small idea of what the game "Hack",
"Advanced Rogue", and "Rogue" are.
