4    Welcome to the game of Larn.  At this moment, you face a great problem.
Your daughter has contracted a strange disease, and none of your home remedies
seem to have any effect.  You sense that she is in mortal danger, and you must
try to save her.  Time ago you heard of a land of great danger and opportunity.
Perhaps here is the solution you need.

    It has been said that there once was a great magician who called himself
Polinneaus.  Many years ago, after having many miraculous successes, Polinneaus
retired to the caverns of Larn, where he devoted most of his time to the
creation of magic.   Rumors have it that one day Polinneaus set out to dispel
an attacking army in a forest some distance to the north.  It is believed that
here he met his demise.

    The caverns of Larn, it is thought, must be magnificent in design,
and contain much magic and treasure.  One option you have is to undertake a
journey into these caverns.


    Good Luck!  You're going to need it!

			    Special Notes

When dropping gold, if you type '*' as your amount, all your gold gets dropped.
In general, typing in '*' means all of what your interested in.  This is true
when visiting the bank, or when contributing at altars.

When in the store, trading post, school, or home, an <escape> will get you out.

		    How to use the score file

The file "larn.src", must be in your A-drive.

There can be 10 players in score file. Information about one player
consists of three lines:

	ptt                  Name
	300000               Score 
	killed by Bat on 1   Why dead

You can add players in the beginning of game, but if you want to remove
some players, you must edit the score file. Insert a '*' before name
of that player.

	*ptt
	300000 
	killed by Bat on 1

DO NOT edit anything else.  This is the way how to clear score file!!
