The pre-built binaries are for Win32 and DOS (16-bit OpenWatcom), but the source officially supports DJGPP also. This is the one *BSD uses nowadays (with similar license). It's very very small, too, builds extremely fast. (Historical source is also available from as far back as 1986.) http://rogueclone.sf.net BTW, I'm not really familiar with ToME, but it seems to have had a source update of "3.0.0 alpha 19" about two weeks ago. (I listed 2004 up above because no precompiled DJGPP binary exists since 2.27, and I've never tried compiling it.) http://www.t-o-m-e.net P.S. Not open source nor DJGPP but now freeware (public domain?) for the DOS version is "Beneath Apple Manor". It actually predates Rogue with its Apple II version (1978) but is quite similar (more or less) and uses real graphics. It too is randomly generated at startup and, although you can save, the saves degrade over time or whatever. This extended PC version is from 1983. http://worth.bol.ucla.edu/ (author's homepage, Don Worth) http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick?q=3Dbeneath+apple+manor&x=3D0&y=3D0 Other misc. sites of similar interest that I've found are as follows: http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=3DMain_Page http://www.roguetemple.com/ http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
