+		<p align="justify">Rogue was first introduced by Michael Toy at the 
+		University of California at Berkeley as a screen-oriented fantasy game. 
+		The game had 26 types of monsters that the player could meet while 
+		exploring a dungeon generated by the computer. Scrolls, potions, rings, 
+		wands, staves, armor, and weapons helped the player to battle these 
+		monsters and to gain gold, the basis for scoring.</p>
+		<p align="justify">The version of Rogue described in this guide has been 
+		expanded to include over 110 monsters with many new capabilities. Many 
+		of the monsters are intelligent, and they, like the player, must avoid 
+		traps and decide when it is better to fight or to run. The player 
+		chooses a character class at the beginning of the game which defines the 
+		player's abilities. Experience, rather than gold, decides the player's 
+		score.</p>

+<h2 align="justify">&nbsp;</h2>
+<h3 align="justify">1. INTRODUCTION</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+    Rogue is a screen-oriented fantasy game set in the ever-changing Dungeons of 
+	Doom. The game comes complete with monsters, spells, weapons, armor, 
+	potions, and other magical items. The dungeon's geography changes with every 
+	game, and although many magical items have certain identifiable properties, 
+	such as turning the player invisible, the physical manifestation of the 
+	magic changes each game. A red potion, for example, will cause the same 
+	reaction throughout a given game, but it may be a completely different 
+	potion in a new game.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Entering the dungeon with only a little food, armor, and a weapon, the 
+	player must develop a good strategy of when to fight, when to run, and how 
+	to best use any magical items found in the dungeon. To make things 
+	interesting, the player has a quest to return one of several unique 
+	artifacts, rumored to lie deep in the dungeon's bowels. Returning with this 
+	artifact brings great glory and the title of Complete Winner. But even after 
+	finding the artifact, the player may wish to continue further to match wits 
+	with an arch-devil, demon prince, or even a deity found far down in the 
+	dungeon. Defeating such a creature will gain the player many experience 
+	points, the basis for scoring in Rogue.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    It is very difficult to return from the Dungeons of Doom. Few people ever 
+	make it out alive. Should this unlikely event occur, the player would be 
+	proclaimed a complete winner and handsomely rewarded for any booty removed 
+	from the dungeon.</p>
+<h3 align="justify">2. CHARACTER CLASSES AND ATTRIBUTES</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+    Before placing the player in the dungeon, the game requests the player to 
+	select a character class: a fighter, a magic user, a cleric, or a thief.</p>
+<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps"><strong>2.1 The Fighter</strong></span></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    A fighter is very strong and will have a high strength rating. This great 
+	strength gives a fighter the best odds of winning a battle with a monster. 
+	At high experience levels the fighter also gets to attack multiple times in 
+	a single turn. This obviously further increases his chances at winning 
+	battles. Intrinsic to the fighter class is a robustness which results in 1 
+	to 10 extra hit points for every new experience level.</p>
+<p align="justify"><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps"><strong>2.2 The Magician</strong></span></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    A magician's major attribute is intelligence, which enables the magician to 
+	cast spells. The number and variety of spells increases as the magician 
+	gains experience and intelligence. Other types of characters can cast 
+	spells, but only if they manage to gain extraordinarily high intelligence. 
+	Magic users are not as hearty as fighters; they receive 1 to 8 extra hit 
+	points for every new experience level.</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">2.3 The Cleric</span></strong></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    A cleric has a high wisdom rating and can thus pray. The number and variety 
+	of prayers which the gods are willing to grant to a cleric increase as the 
+	cleric gains experience and wisdom. Other character types can pray only if 
+	they manage to gain extraordinary wisdom.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Because of their religious nature, clerics can also affect the &quot;undead&quot; 
+	beings, like zombies and ghouls, which became monsters after they died. If 
+	an &quot;undead&quot; creature is next to a cleric, the cleric may try to turn it and 
+	cause it to flee. If the cleric is sufficiently powerful relative to the 
+	monster, the cleric will destroy it. This ability increases as the character 
+	gains experience levels.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Clerics can gain from 1 to 8 extra hit points on reaching a new experience 
+	level.</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">2.4 The Thief</span></strong></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    A thief is exceptionally dextrous and has a good chance to set a trap or rob 
+	a monster. Any type of character can try to set a trap or steal from a 
+	monster standing next to the character, but the chances of success are low 
+	compared to a thief's chances.
+</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    By their nature, thieves can automatically detect all the gold on the 
+	current level of the dungeon. They are also good at detecting hidden traps. 
+	Because thieves slink along, they are not as likely as other characters to 
+	wake sleeping monsters. If a thief manages to sneak up on a creature without 
+	waking it, he will get a chance to backstab the monster. When this is done, 
+	the damage done by the thief greatly increases based on his experience 
+	level.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Thieves gain from 1 to 6 extra hit points from a new experience level.
+</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">2.5 
+CONSTITUTION</span></strong></p>
+<p align="justify">Every character has a constitution rating. A character with 
+an exceptionally good constitution will gain more than the normal amount of hit 
+points associated with the character's class when the character reaches a new 
+experience level. Exceptional constitution also provides better protection 
+versus poison-based attacks and diseases.</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">2.6 Experience Levels</span></strong></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Characters gain experience for killing monsters, stealing from monsters, and 
+	turning monsters. Each character class has a set of thresholds associated 
+	with it. When a character reaches a threshold, the character attains the 
+	next experience level. This new level brings extra hit points and a greater 
+	chance of success in performing the abilities associated with the 
+	character's class. Magicians receive new spells, and clerics receive new 
+	prayers.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    Thieves have the lowest threshold for gaining experience levels, followed by 
+	clerics. Fighters are next, and magicians have the highest threshold.</p>
+<h3 align="justify">
+    3. THE SCREEN</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+    During the normal course of play, the screen consists of three separate 
+	sections: the top line of the terminal, the bottom two lines of the 
+	terminal, and the remaining middle lines. The top line reports actions which 
+	occur during the game, the middle section depicts the dungeon, and the 
+	bottom lines describe the player's current condition.</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">3.1 The Top Line</span></strong>
+<p align="justify">
+    Whenever anything happens to the player, such as finding a scroll or hitting 
+	or being hit by a monster, a short report of the occurrence appears on the 
+	top line of the screen. When such reports occur quickly, one right after 
+	another, the game displays the notice followed by the prompt '--More--.' 
+	After reading this notice, the player can press a space to display the next 
+	message. At such a point, the game ignores all commands until the player 
+	presses a space.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    <strong>
+	<span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">3.2 The Dungeon Section</span></strong>
+<p align="justify">
+    The large middle section of the screen displays the player's surroundings using 
+    the following symbols:

+</p>
+<p align="justify"><strong><span style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">3.3 The Status Section</span></strong></p>
+<p align="justify">
+    The bottom two lines of the screen describe the player's current status. The 
+    first line gives the player's characteristics:
+</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Intelligence (Int)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Strength (Str)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Wisdom (Wis)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Dexterity (Dxt)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Constitution (Const)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Charisma (Char)</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">Encumbrance (Carry)</p>
+    </li>
+</ul>
+<p align="justify">
+    Intelligence, strength, wisdom, dexterity, and constitution have a normal 
+	maximum of 25, but can be higher when augmented by a ring. Encumbrance is a 
+	measurement of how much the player can carry versus how much he is currently 
+	carrying. The more you carry relative to your maximum causes you to use more 
+	food.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    The second status line provides the following information:
+</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">The current level (Lvl) in the dungeon. This number 
+	increases as the player goes further down.</p>
+	<li>
+	<p align="justify">How much gold (Au) the player is carrying.</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">The player's current number of hit points (Hp), followed 
+	in parentheses by the player's current maximum number of hit points. Hit 
+	points express the player's health. As a player heals by resting, the 
+	player's current hit points gradually increase until reaching the current 
+	maximum. This maximum increases each time a player attains a new experience 
+	level. If the player's current hit points reach 0, the player dies.</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">The player's armor class (Ac). This number describes the 
+	amount of protection provided by the armor and rings currently worn by the 
+	player. Wearing no armor is equivalent to an armor class of 10. The 
+	protection level increases as the armor class decreases.</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">The player's current experience level (Exp) followed by 
+	the player's experience points. The player can gain experience points by 
+	killing monsters, successfully stealing from monsters, and turning monsters. 
+	When a player gains enough experience points to surpass a threshold that 
+	depends on the player's character type, the player reaches a new experience 
+	level. A new experience level brings extra hit points and possibly added 
+	abilities, such as a new spell for a magician or a new prayer for a cleric.</p>
+    <li>
+	<p align="justify">A description of the player's character. This description 
+	depends on the player's character type and experience level.</p>
+    </li>
+</ul>
+<h3 align="justify">4. COMMANDS</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+    A player can invoke most Rogue commands by typing a single character. Some 
+	commands, however, require a direction, in which case the player types the 
+	command character followed by a directional command. Many commands can be 
+	prefaced by a number, indicating how many times the command should be 
+	executed.</p>
+<p align="justify">
+    When the player invokes a command referring to an item in the player's pack 
+	(such as reading a scroll), the game prompts for the item. The player should 
+	then type the letter associated with the item, as displayed by the inventory 
+	command. Typing a '*' at this point produces a list of the eligible items.</p>
