Larn is a dungeon type game program.  It is a adventure/action game similar
in concept to rogue or hack, but with a much different feel.   It is

Recently uploaded to ARPANET host NOSC-COD is an executable and sources
for an MSDOS version of LARN.  The features of this MSDOS port are:

	- runs in 256K of memory with MSDOS 2.x by using disk caching
	  to keep only the most recent levels in memory.  A swap file
	  is used to store old levels.  You can use your RAMdisk to 
	  hold the swap file.
	- needs 1 360K floppy drive (although 2 are preferred).
	- allows graphics characters for the caves.
	- shows where you've been in the caves by marking the floor with
	  a dot or user defined symbol.
	- runs on the DEC Rainbow (including the graphics).
	- uses ANSI.SYS (or preferable NANSI.SYS, which is included in
	  the distribution) and termcap, so is configurable to color
	  monitors.  The terminal is put into raw mode for faster drawing.
	- allows use of the arrow keys for motion input.

The executable and support files are in LARN12.ARC (about 150K);
sources and support files are in LARN12SRC.ARC (about 280K).  This is
*not* the same set of sources a recent diff was posted for.  These
include enhancements specific to the MSDOS environment.

The files are available by anonymous ftp from host NOSC-COD.ARPA, in
directory pub/hack.  Remember that ARC files are binary files and must
be transferred with a binary protocol.  Usually you use the "tenex"
mode of ftp to get it to your host, then the "-i" flag of kermit to use
image mode to get it to your PC.

For people without ARPANET connections I will mail them a copy of these
files if they send me 1 (or 2 if sources are desired also) *formatted* DSDD
floppy disk, or 1 *formatted* DSQD disk with a self-addressed return mailer
and sufficient return postage to:
