 <p>This page explains <a href="/">RLG-Web</a> and how to use it.  Since the project is still under rapid development, details may change.</p>
 <h2>Browser Compatibility</h2>
-<p>RLG-Web has been tested using Firefox and Chrome; there should be no problems with recent versions of these two browsers.  Safari 6 works, but 
-older versions may not.  Opera ought to work, though it hasn't been tested yet.  Internet Explorer 9 is compatible, but older versions  might not be.</p>
-<h2>WebSockets</h2>
-<p>If your browser supports it, RLG-Web will connect using WebSockets.  This lets the server send data to your browser as soon as Rogue generates it, 
-instead of waiting for the browser to ask for it.  This reduces the lag time.</p>
-<p>The site will still work if your browser doesn't support this feature, but it will probably be annoyingly slow.</p>

 <h2>Starting Games</h2>
 <p>If you have already registered an account, you can log in.  If not, create one with the "New name" button.  Once logged in, RLG-Web will list your
 saved games and let you resume them or start new ones.</p>

 <p>This is the most reliable way of exploring.</p>
 <p>You can also move with arrow keys, or with the number pad, if your browser recognizes those keys.  If it doesn't, the simulated keyboard can imitate
 them.</p>
-<p>Note: Super-Rogue does not work with the arrow keys or the number pad yet.</p>
 <h2>Saving Games</h2>
-<p>If you accidentally close your browser, don't worry.  If your browser supports WebSockets, RLG-Web will save your game automatically.  If not, it
-will be saved after staying idle for an hour, or you can force it to save when you return.</p>

 <h2>Accounts and Passwords</h2>
 <p>rlgallery.org doesn't use https yet, so you should not assume your password is safe.  Don't use the same one you use on your bank's website, etc.</p>
 <p>You don't have to supply a valid e-mail address.  It will only be used if you ask to have your password reset.</p>
