[rogueclone-devel] Windows build, name change

[Michael L. <le...@po...>]

After a long period of inactivity, I have gotten interested in rogue clone
again. I guess something about the winter makes me want to work on rogue!

I built rogue as a Windows console application (using VC98) and put my
changes in cvs. Now that DOS Rogue Clone is not just a DOS application, it
really needs a new name. I think a good one is "rogue clone IV" since it
follows Tim Stoehr's roman numeral version naming scheme. Also, IV is an
abbreviation for intravenous, which is a joke about how addictive rogue
can be.

I found a few bugs in the colour DOS code and will work on fixing them
next. Then I'll finish bringing the docs in line with the actual game
features, and make a new web page for the site. After that I think a file
release is in order!
