I have written a small C-program to generate Role-Master compatible
characters. You need C-compiler capable compiling both C and C++
sources and Unix-operating system with SYS V compatible curses.
Recommended enviroment is SYS V unix with GNU 2.x.x C-compiler.

Program is called: Rolechar-Developer and current version is 6.0
It can be obtained with FTP from ftp.funet.fi (pub/unix/games/rd.tar.Z)
or with email from me: mos@error.nullnet.fi
Unix version is released as public-domain, with few restrictions.
(Summarized in license-file included in rd.tar.Z) 

An amiga-port also exists requiring Kickstart 2.0 to run. Binaries can
be inquired from: vms@error.nullnet.fi

Version 6.0 features:
- Random name generation
- 3 Different stat-generation methods, with three stat-bonuses methods
  and extended stat-gain table option.
- 83 Different races. New races can be easily added without recompiling.
- 88 Different professions. New professions can be easily added without
recompile.
- Background generation. 13 different background options are supported.
- Skill choosing and devoloping. Program contains auto-updating
skill-cost database. (It saves costs and bonuses entered) Easily
expandable skill-name database. (Contains 251 different skills.)
Chosen skills can be developed, program calculates development points
for different levels and keeps track of spent points. 

Resulting character might look like this:
