Spent some time over the weekend coding an angband borg (sort of 
. Instead of hardcoding the borg into the angband source as has been done previously, I decided to use a python script to control the character via pexpect. Here's the result:
This will probably only run on *unix systems given the use of pexpect. Two *simple*functions are included - #uncomment# on or the other. Diver attempts to dive into the dungeon and Finder looks for stuff Nothing fancy - just wanted to demonstrate the concept.
To start the borg the character must be on a down staircase. You need to disable -more- prompts. Note that the borg use roguelike commands.
The tt parameter in the code is the time in seconds to wait on pexpect before timeout - you can try reducing this to speed up the borg.
Also - use this on a new character, don't risk your existing character
