Thanks, Clem. I'm curious what other lore is out there: my suspicion is
that rogue never ran on vanilla v6, but it would be great to validate.

I first got it on V7, as I said on our 11/70 for sure

if we had it on the 11/60 before that.

What was the first machine to run rogue? I
understand that it was written
by Glenn Wichman and Michael Toy at UC Santa Cruz ca. 1980, using the
`curses` library (Ken Arnold's original, not Mary Ann's rewrite). I've
seen
at least one place that indicates it first ran on 6th Edition, but that
doesn't sound right to me. The first reference I can find in BSD is in 2.79
("rogue.doc"), which also appears to be the first release to ship curses.
Anyone have any info? Thanks!
