Introduction X 2. System requirements X 3. Files Supplied X 4. Installation X 5. Configuration X 6. Command line options X 7. TERMCAP X 8. WIZARD mode X 9. History and other Information X X X X X 1. Introduction X --------------- X X LARN is a dungeon type adventure game similar in concept to HACK, ROGUE X or MORIA, but with a different feel and winning criteria. LARN was X released for the UNIX environment in 1986 by Noah Morgan. It was X subsequently ported to the MS-DOS environment by Don Kneller. Kevin X Routley has been working on enhancements to LARN on and off for the X past year. X X X 2. System requirements X ---------------------- X X PC LARN requires: X X - MS-DOS or PC-DOS 2.x or above. X X - at least 256K of RAM. X X - disk storage capacity of at least 360K, although twice that much is X preferred if you want to "checkpoint" your game to prevent X accidental lose due to a system failure. X X - the ANSI.SYS device driver must be installed (although the NANSI.SYS X driver is *strongly* preferred and has been included in this X distribution). You should install either ANSI.SYS or NANSI.SYS, but X not both. To install NANSI.SYS, put the line "device=NANSI.SYS" in X your CONFIG.SYS file. See the TERMCAP section for further details. X X X 3. Files supplied X ----------------- X X The following files should be included in this LARN122.ZIP file: X X LARN122.DOC This documentation. X X LARN122.FIX Changes made between LARN V12.0 and V12.2. X X LARN122.EXE The executable file. X X LARN.FTN Fortune cookie messages. X X LARN.HLP A help file, which can be read with the "?" X command in LARN. X X LARN.MAZ Some maze levels are pre-calculated and X stored here. X X LARN.OPT An example LARN.OPT file (see the CONFIGURATION X section). X X TERMCAP A file describing the escape sequences to send X to the terminal. The supplied TERMCAP file is X for monochrome systems. See the TERMCAP section X for details on changing TERMCAP. X X NANSI.DOC The documentation for NANSI.SYS. X X NANSI.SYS A new ANSI.SYS that is *much* faster than X ANSI.SYS and supports the line insert and line X delete escape sequence that LARN uses. This X excellent product is written by Daniel Kegel. X See the TERMCAP section and NANSI.DOC for more X details. X X X 4. Installation X --------------- X X NANSI.SYS or ANSI.SYS must be installed as a device driver on your X system in order for LARN to work (see System Requirements above). X X For a hard disk system I suggest creating a \GAMES\LARN directory and X placing LARN and the provided support files in that directory. Following X that, you would place \GAMES\LARN in your PATH. X X LARN will create several other files (LARN.SCR, LARN.PID, LARN.LOG) X in that directory. Also, save files (LARN.SAV) and checkpoint files X (LARN.CKP) will go in there by default. You will want to set the X 'larndir:' option in your LARN.OPT file (see the Configuration section X below) to point to this directory. X X For two-floppy systems, I would suggest the following: X X o place LARN122.EXE, LARN.OPT and TERMCAP. on disk one. X X o place LARN.FTN, LARN.MAZ, and LARN.HLP on disk two. This will X be the 'larndir:' disk (see the Configuration section below). X LARN.SCR, LARN.PID, LARN.LOG, save files, and checkpoint files X will go on this disk. X X X 5. Configuration X ---------------- X X PC LARN is configured by options placed in the file LARN.OPT. X When PC LARN starts up, it looks in the current directory for X this file, then in directories along your PATH. Here are the X options that can be put in LARN.OPT. X X Options that are followed with a colon, ":", take at least one X argument. Options without a colon are boolean, meaning you select X that option merely by mentioning it. X X X These options are only in PC LARN: X X cursor: start-line end-line X Normally, LARN uses the standard DOS cursor (the flashing X underscore) to show where your player is located. This can be X difficult to see. This option results in a *BIOS* call to change X the cursor size. For a monochrome display, the normal value of X start-line and end-line is 11 and 12. Values of 4 and 9 give a X larger cursor which is not too obtrusive. X X If "cursor" is not specified, no BIOS call is made. X X DECRainbow X Put this in LARN.OPT if your computer is a DEC Rainbow and you X want to use graphics characters for drawing the maze. You can X use any characters from the ASCII character set and from the X "line-drawing" character set. To use line-drawing characters, X take the decimal value of the character and add 128 to it. This X makes the values of line-drawing characters lie between decimal X 128 and 255 and tells PC LARN you want a line-drawing character. X X Every attempt has been made with PC LARN V12.2 to maintain X DECRainbow compatibility as provided by Don Kneller. X Unfortunately, since I do not have access to a Rainbow, I cannot X make any guarentees. X X graphics: wallc floorc X In UNIX LARN, the wall character is a # and the floor character X is a blank (which makes it almost impossible to tell where you've X been). In PC LARN, the default wall character is also a # but X the default floor character is a period. X X This option allows you to change these characters to something X you like. Suggested characters are 176 (a graphic block) and X 249 (a central dot). X X Almost all ASCII (non-graphics) characters already represent X objects in LARN, so you should only choose numbers that are X in the graphics character set (i.e. those with decimal values X greater than 128). X X keypad X This enables the keypad for use with LARN. A *BIOS* call is used X to read the keypad. The correspondance between keypad and game X command is: X X Keypad Command X 7 8 9 u+l(y) up(k) u+r(u) X \ | / \ | / X 4 -5- 6 left(h) nothing right(l) X / | \ / | \ X 1 2 3 d+l(b) down(j) d+r(n) X Ins inventory(i) X X The letter in () is the game command letter. "u+l" means up and X left. The keypad "7" is translated to the command for moving one X space up and left. With shift the commands are the same as the X uppercase letters. X X larndir: directory X Sets "directory" to be the place LARN looks for files. For hard X disks set this to be \GAMES\LARN. For 2-floppy systems, use B: X X If "larndir" is not specified, the current directory is assumed. X X ramlevels: number X This number is the maximum number of levels PC LARN will keep in X memory. The number can be between 1 and 14. Normally, PC LARN X will use as much memory as available, but you may want to use X less so there will be enough memory to start up a second copy of X COMMAND.COM with the LARN command `!'. If there isn't enough X memory for COMMAND.COM, LARN will clear the screen and prompt X with "A>" until return is struck, then go back to the game. X X If "ramlevels" is not specified, a value of 14 is used. If X "number" is less than 14, LARN will use a swapfile to store the X oldest levels. Note that a level takes about 8K of memory. X X rawio X This option causes the input and output of your computer to be X switched to "raw" mode. The advantage of this is faster output X and better handling of special characters ^S and ^P. X X =========== WARNING ========== X Some computers (eg. DEC Rainbows) hang if rawio is attempted. X ============================== X X swapfile: filename X This is the name of the swap file that will be used if ramlevels X is less than 14. If all the levels fit in memory, no swap file X will be used. You may want to put the swapfile on a RAMdisk. X If "swapfile" is not specified, LARN.SWP in directory larndir X will be used. X X X X The following are options found in UNIX LARN as well: X X auto-pickup X Starts you out in 'automatic pickup' mode. Whenever the player X moves onto an object, it will be picked up. This mode can be X toggled with the '@' command while in the game. X X bold-objects X By specifying this option, all objects in the game will be X highlighted. The 'highlight-objects' and 'inverse-objects' X specify which highlighting method will be used. X X The default is non-bold objects, except if the 'original-objects' X option is specified, when it is *forced* on (to distinguish X monsters and objects that are represented by the same X character). X X enable-checkpointing X With this option, the game is saved every 400 moves. If your X system crashes it is possible to recover from the last checkpoint X file (LARN.CPK in the LARN directory) with the command "larn ++". X X highlight-objects X If the 'bold-objects' option is specified, this option causes X objects to be highlighted with bolding. X X inverse-objects X If the 'bold-objects' option is specified, this option causes X objects to be highlighted with inverse video. The default is X 'highlight-objects'. X X monster: name X Sets the name of a monster. If the name has a space in it, X enclose it in double quotes (eg "tooth fairy"). The leading X character determines which monster the name goes with (e.g. X "monster: bee" and "monster: Buzzbomb" change the names of X bugbears and Bats, respectively). X X name: yourname X Sets the name of the player. If you want a space in your name, X enclose it in double quotes (eg "Mad Max"). X X no-introduction X Skip displaying the opening messages. X X no-beep X Disable sound from the speaker. X X original-objects X Like 'prompting' mode, this mode is provided for compatibility X with LARN V12.0. By specifying this option, the characters X used to show objects in the game are the same as in 12.0. The X default is to use characters that are closer to those used with X HACK, ROGUE and MORIA. X X prompt-on-objects X By specifying this option, you enable 'prompting' mode. In this X mode, the player is prompted for the action to perform when X encountering an object (e.g. 'Eat, pick up, or ignore?'). X Prompting mode is provided for compatibility with LARN V12.0, and X is off by default. X X savefile: filename X The filename to use for saving the game. The default is LARN.SAV X in the LARN directory. For a 2-floppy system you might try X B:LARN.SAV if the LARN directory is on the A disk drive. X X X 6. Command line options X ----------------------- X X There are several command line options that can modify the behavior of X LARN. These are: X X -o optionfile Use this as the option file rather than LARN.OPT. As X with LARN.OPT, the current directory then directories X along your path are searched for this file which X supplies configuration information. X X -s Show scores. X X -l Show log file. You have to know the Wizard's password X to do this. X X -i Show all scores including the inventories of dead X players. X X -c Create a new score file. You have to know the Wizard's X password to do this. Erasing LARN.SCR has the same X effect. X X -n No welcoming message. Prevents printing of the short X introduction to LARN. Putting the "no-introduction" X configuration option in LARN.OPT has the same effect. X X -# Where # is a number from 0 to 9. This sets the X difficulty of LARN to this level. Normally, LARN X starts out with difficulty 0 and increases in X difficulty by 1 when you win at the current level. X Thus the game automatically gets more difficult. X X -h A help screen that shows the command line arguments. X X -p Prompt for actions on objects. Specifying the X 'prompt-on-objects' option in LARN.OPT has the same X affect. X X ++ Restore a game from a checkpoint file. If you have X checkpointing enabled (with the "enable-checkpointing" X configuration option in LARN.OPT) then LARN writes a X checkpoint file every 400 moves. Should your system X crash you can recover the game from the checkpoint file X with this command line option X X For example: "larn -n -o bobslarn.opt" starts up LARN with no X introductory message and uses bobslarn.opt file for configuration X options. "larn ++" tries to restore LARN from a checkpoint file. X X X 7. TERMCAP X ---------- X X LARN uses the UNIX "termcap" to select escape sequences to be sent to X the terminal driver (either ANSI.SYS or NANSI.SYS) to change video modes. X When LARN starts up, it checks in the environment for the variable called X "TERM". The DOS command: X set TERM ibmpc-ega X will give the environment variable "TERM" the value "ibmpc-ega". By X default, LARN assumes the value of TERM is "ibmpc-mono". X X Then LARN looks in the file called "TERMCAP" for a termininiefinition X with the same name as the value of TERM. LARN first looks for TERMCAP in X the current directory, then in directory "\ETC" (the normal UNIX place), X then in directories along your PATH. X X The TERMCAP file uses 2 letter codes to describe each escape sequence X and \E to mean ESC (the escape character is decimal 27). Each entry is X enclosed in colons. For example, to start underscore mode on a monochrome X display, we want to send the sequence "ESC[4m". This looks like X ":us=\E4m:" as a termcap entry. X X The following sequences are used by LARN: X X ti terminal initialization. You could have something like: X :ti=\E44;37m: X which would mean to select blue background and white foreground. X X te terminal end. To reset your terminal to white on black: X :te=\E0m: X X so stand out. Select red forground, keeping the blue background: X :so=\E31m: X X se standout end. Back to white on blue: X :se=\E44;37m: X X al insert line. This is *not* available in ANSI.SYS, so remove this X entry if you're using ANSI. X X dl delete line. This is *not* available in ANSI.SYS, so remove this X entry if you're using ANSI. X X If you want to make your own TERMCAP entry, copy the "ibmpc-mono" X entry, replace the name (eg use "ibmpc-color" or "ibmpc-ega" or whatever), X then replace the sequences with whatever you please. The possible escape X sequences are generally listed in the DOS manual in the description of X ANSI.SYS, as well as in the NANSI.DOC file. X X Remember to change the environment variable "TERM" to reflect which X TERMCAP entry you want! You should probably put a "set TERM=..." line in X your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. X X X 8. WIZARD mode X -------------- X X There is a WIZARD mode for testing features of the game. To get into X WIZARD mode, type in an underscore "_" and answer the prompt for the X password with "pvnert(x)". Wizards are non-scoring characters that get X enlightenment, everlasting expanded awareness and one of every object in X the game. X X X 9. History and Other Information X -------------------------------- X X Noah Morgan originally created LARN 12.0 and released the UNIX X version to the USENET in 1986. Don Kneller ported the UNIX X version to MSDOS (both IBM PCs and DEC Rainbows). X X Kevin Routley has been working on LARN enhancements on and off for X the past two years. Version 12.1 had a limited distribution. X Version 12.2 is the last version from Kevin that will maintain X savefile compatibility with version 12.0 savefiles. Future X versions (if any) will be released as Shareware. X X Other editions of Larn have been distributed by others, namely X LARN13 and Ultra-Larn. For better or for worse, neither of these X versions were as 'true' to the original concepts and feel of Larn X 12.0. X X I hope you enjoy this version of LARN. Please send any questions, X suggestions, requests, or comments regarding LARN and LARN V12.2 X in particular to: X X Kevin Routley X 421 Midhurst Road X Nashua, NH 03062 X X July 1, 1990 END_OF_FILE if test 18526 -ne `wc -c <'larn122.doc'`; then echo shar: \"'larn122.doc'\" unpacked with wrong size! fi # end of 'larn122.doc' fi if test -f 'tgetstr.c' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'tgetstr.c'\" else echo shar: Extracting \"'tgetstr.c'\" $6347 characters$ sed "s/^X//" >'tgetstr.c' <<'END_OF_FILE' X/************************************************************************ X * * X * Copyright (c) 1982, Fred Fish * X * All Rights Reserved * X * * X * This software and/or documentation is released for public * X * distribution for personal, non-commercial use only. * X * Limited rights to use, modify, and redistribute are hereby * X * granted for non-commercial purposes, provided that all * X * copyright notices remain intact and all changes are clearly * X * documented.
