Anyone out there porting LARN to IBM/clones ?? -- Dead my fine old hopes And all our world is dew ... so dear, So fresh, so fleeting

I started to do a port to MSDOS but stopped when version 12 (1.2?) was announced to be on the way soon. Does anyone know what the status is of this new version? I can't see going through all the gyrations of porting it only to have to do it all over again in a short period of time if a new version is on the way. If anyone knows when it might reasonably be available (and where), please post the information. Dave Purks ...!seismo!hadron!dkp

I started porting larn 11.0 to the Mac, and stopped when I found a LOT
of general portability problems, especially in the vterminal handling.
I may start over with 12.0, once I finish my hack port, but I haven't
decided yet.

O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim
Of Brahamana and recluse the honoured name!
For, quarrelling, each to his view they claim,
Such folk see only one side of a thing.

> > > Anyone out there porting LARN to IBM/clones ?? > Here at transys I have successfully ported larn 12.0 to An IBM-AT running SCO Xenix V Release 2.1. No major surgery, just a lot of little fixes. One major problem though, in main.c there is a call to malloc when you create the dungeon. The call asks for about 150k of memory. Unfortunately, Xenix on an AT can only ask for an amount of memory up to an unsigned integers largest value (65k). This problem is not apparent until you reach the sixth level, at which point you will get a SIGSEGV segment violation. The fixes were simple. Write me for the diffs, as they are all #ifdef'd with M_XENIX -- These are my own opinions, not those of my employer (self), or any one connected with the company (mine) Joe Portman (SA) USPS: TransSystems Incorporated AT&T: 1-206-453-5560 1280 116th Avenue NE /-- uw-beaver!\ /-- camco! \ Bellevue WA 98009 ... ihnp4! --< >-tikal!< >-- transys!root \-- microsoft!/ \-- teldata!/
