.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.I UltraRogue
is a advanced version of one of the more standard rogue games.
It is much more difficult and interesting to play than the
original version on which it is based (Advanced Rogue 2.0).
Some of it's unique features include 10 player character classes,
several hundred monsters, charmable monsters, etc.
.PP
To win the game
you must locate 8 artifacts which start appearing from level 25
down.  You must then bring all artifacts back up out of the dungeon.
These artifacts also may be 
.I applied
to use some of their great powers!  Be warned, though, sometimes these
powers back-fire on you.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
The environment variable 
.B $UROGUE
(the person installing 
.I UltraRogue
may have changed this for your site)
is checked to set certain default options for 
.I UltraRogue.
The following may be set in the 
.B $UROGUE:
.IP "\fBterse\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
Short output messages.
.IP "\fBflush\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
Flush typeahead when fighting.
.IP "\fBjump\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
Show position only at the end of running.
.IP "\fBinven\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
Inventory style.
.IP "\fBaskme\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
Ask about unidentified things.
.IP "\fBstopdoor\fR (\fIboolean\fR)"
Stop running when next to something interesting.
.IP "\fBname\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
The rogue's name.
.IP "\fBfruit\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
The funny fruit used by the rogue.
.IP "\fBfile\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
Default savefile name.
.IP "\fBscore\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
Default scorefile name.
.IP "\fBclass\fR (\fIstring\fR)"
Default player class.
.sp
.PP
Something like
.nf
.sp
.in +.5in
setenv UROGUE "name=VAX Killer,fruit=Peach,noterse,jump"
.in -.5in
.sp
.fi
does the obvious.  The ``score'' option is ignored unless you start
urogue in wizard mode.  The class option string can have the following
values: ``fighter'', ``illus'', ``paladin'', ``ranger'', ``cleric'', ``magic'',
``assasin'', ``druid'', ``ninja'', and ``thief'' and is initialized only at
startup time.  The ``inven'' option can take the values ``slow'', ``clear'',
and ``overwrite''.
.PP
You may change most of these values while playing with the 
.B ``o''
command.
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
If a
.I save_file
is specified,
urogue will be restored from the specified saved game file.
If the save file is named ``-r'', the default saved game file of
.I ~/rogue.save
is restored.
The other options are:
.IP \-k
Place the terminal's kaypad into 
.I auxilary
or
.I applications
mode.  Once this is done, the keypad may be used for movement instead
of the normal letter movement keys.  
The directions are ``1'' move left and down, ``2'' move down, ``3'' move 
right and down, ``6'' move right, ``9'' move right and up, ``8'' move up,
``7'' move up, and ``4'' move left.  If the user hits the <RUN> key
(key ``5'') and then a direction, then the rogue will run in the specified
direction.
When the game ends the keypad is restored
to normal
.I numeric
mode if \-k was specified.  The user may also place the keypad into 
.I auxilary
or
.I applications
mode manually and then may use the keypad without specifing the
\-k option.
.IP \-s

This is a file containing information on currently known bugs,
changes, fixes, and enhancements to look for from the last version.
