Larn installation/mailing list query

Well I did it.  I just installed version 12.0 of Larn and played it for
the first time.  It's great.  Compiling and installing was pretty trivial.

I have one problem though.  I tried the -DUIDSCORE option and changed WIZID
to my UID and it didn't work.  A .playerids file was still created and I 
could not enter wizard mode.  I could however still create and clear the
scoreboard.  What did I do wrong.  Right now I have the option UIDSCORE
removed and am using the .playerids file but I would like to use UIDs.

Also, is there a Larn mailing list?  I would appreciate being put on it
if it exists.

Sincerely,
Stephen Corbin

Yes, there is, run by yours truly. (plug, plug, plug)
Consider yourself "put."

Beth,

(You know exactly what you are talking about.)  "Larn Installers Magazine
Issue 1" has already been posted to this net.  Issue #2 is about ready
to go, which will be announcing two or more bug fixes.  (I'm still trying
to figure out if I *want* to post a fix for the "infinite-money" bug.)

For the record, "patched" versions of Larn 12.0 for UNIX and VMS are 
available for ftp at the "official" site (meaning, that these versions
are nonimally subject to duress by Noah Morgan, the game's author).
One other party has also made "MS-DOS" available for public consumption
on his own site.  (My attempt to contact him, as well as you, Beth, have
been mercilessly bounced back by mailer daemons.  I'm glad you were able
to get Larn hints from other sources.)

The "Larn Installers' Mailing List" (mine) was defunct before it started--
not enough time to keep track of subscribers.  So, you get the magazine,
right here.  Keep watch.

As a note (of thanks), most patches that are applied to the "official"
site and/or are published in the mag are supplied to me directly by
net readers and players (that's all you out there).  The main function
I supply is coordinating the "overlap" of patches to keep the "ripple
effect" in check.  Thanks to Bernie Cosell for feeding it to the public,
and of course Noah Morgan for concocting the whole cult in the first place.

Lastly, a simple survey: Should the "infinite money" bug be fixed and
patches provided, or should all you cheaters (spit!) be allowed to 
accumulate taxable income for the LRS until Noah gets his next release
out?  Lets here what you want!

Jim
