+dgamelaunch play system, and compliance with modern C compiler standards.  Some
+bugs have also been fixed, and the build process slightly improved.  The
+essential flavor of a codebase half as old as stored-program computing

+This collection does not contain the versions of Rogue commercially released by
+Epyx for DOS, the Mac, and other graphical platforms of the 1980's.  Nor does
+it include Rogue Clone, a reimplementation sometimes found in BSD or Linux 
+distributions.

-game from your own user account, 'configure' won't need any options.  The 
-games will keep the high score lists in whatever directory you run them from.

+If you only want to play the games from one user account, 'configure' won't
+need any options.  The games will keep the high score lists in whatever
+directory you run them from.
 
 For a multi-user installation, you will need to set the '--enable-setgid',
 '--enable-savedir', '--enable-scorefile', and '--enable-logfile' options.  Run
