[comp.sys.apollo] Tank Game

    Help!

        I am attempting to run the tanks game on my apollo ring.  I have started
    all processes as specified in the man pages under tankd. When I attempt to
    invoke the tanks game ( Either tanks.none of tanks.881 ) the pad clears
    and I receive the message: 
                      
            name not found (OS/naming server)

    and the program terminates.  I am running OS 10.3  I have used lb_admin to 
    ensure that the local broker daemon sees the tankd daemon is being run an if 
    is my belief that the global broker daemon ( useing lb_admin and looking 
    at the global broker ) is getting info from the local broker.  

        If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the info.  Thanks in 
    advance.

It's looking for /sys/dm/fonts/old_english.36 .  My apoligies for the
terse (okay, 
horrible :-) error message.  This file is one of the optional fonts for the DM.
