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. hou2e!ksl
