arogue5: make alchemy jugs survive a save and restore. Alchemy jugs are refilled by the alchemy() fuse, which takes a pointer to the jug object as an argument. When written to a save file and read back out, the pointer is unlikely to point anywhere useful. Instead, rs_write_daemons() now stores an index into the player's pack or the list of objects on the floor. rs_read_daemons() uses this number to locate the object when restoring. This change should not cause any new issues with old savefiles, but it is unable to make a broken alchemy jug work again.

		       Roguelike Gallery (rlgallery.org)

This is the source code for the Roguelike Gallery's version of Rogue V3.

History
Rogue 3 was released by Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman, probably 
late in 1980.  It went through several minor updates.  The last, Rogue 3.6, 
was completed mid-June 1981.

The Roguelike Restoration Project (rogue.rogueforge.net) updated the game to 
work on modern systems.

The Roguelike Gallery's version has been slightly modified for compatibility 
with dgamelaunch and security for multiple players.

Installing
Rogue V3 now uses autotools.  Run 'autoreconf' and then './configure' to
configure for your system.  Once that's finished, compile by running make.  (I
haven't tested the Visual Studio project files on Windows, but they should
work.)

If you don't use any options with './configure', rogue3 will keep the high
score list in whatever directory you run it from.  If you just want to play 
the game yourself, this will work.

If you want multi-user play, use the '--enable-setgid' and '--enable-savedir'
options to 'configure'.  You will also likely want to use '--enable-scorefile' 
and '--enable-logfile' to set the locations of those files.  After compiling, 
run 'make install'.

There are other possible features, including wizard (debugging) mode.  To see
the full list, run './configure --help'.

Playing
For more details, see readme36.html (contains the man page) and rogue36.html 
(Michael Toy's "Guide to the Dungeons of Doom").
