   Hello! I`m sorry, but I`m new to Unix and C. I have one question to
make about the game Larn.
   After I`ve compiled the game with the make command (I run the program
on a Unix Sun machine), I try to start the program with the command
larn122, but all I get are the following messages:

error creating </usr/users/routley/larncc/larn.scr>
Can`t write scoreboard
Can`t open options file "/v/ftekn/f90/f90caru/.larnopts"
Can't obtain playerid

and the game won't start.
   I keep the program in the directory v/ftekn/f90/f90caru (my home-
directory) /News/Games/Larn/
   I suspect that the file patches01 supplied with the extra shell archive,
published recently, could somehow adjust part of my problem, but I don't know
how to use it. If anybody out there knows what the problem is, please help me.
