[net.sources.games] Bug in Larn 12.0

mudie@merlin.Berkeley.EDU (David C Mudie) (08/15/86)

I don't read this group regularly, but hopefully nobody
has mentioned this one yet -- the mail messages you
are sent after winning still contain embedded ANSI
sequences for bold/inverse/whatever.  One of these
sequences just happens to lock up a z29...

Fix?  Well, I haven't seen the source code, but I imagine
the letters are read in either from an external file or
some big string array.  Just find the right files and
delete the offending characters.

And clean up the spelling and grammar!
