[Bug-gnubg] Error when starting : Program fails to load

[Pete Shaw]

Hello,

I've just downloaded and installed the latest version of GNU Backgammon 
and it fails to start. (gnubg-setup-gtk13-20050213.exe)
I get 2 windows:
The first has a window title saying 'Starting GNU Backgammon 
0.14.3-devel'. It displays an image of a brown GNU and at the bottom it 
says 'initialising' followed by 'board images'.
The second window has a window title saying 'GNU Backgammon - Error'.
The error reported is 'BAMFORD/USR:AQ\Ad1pms/.gnubg:' followed by 
'Invalid argument'. There is only an 'OK' button to press and when I do 
the program terminates.

The 'BAMFORD/USR:AQ\Ad1pms' bit of the error relates to the Novell 
server and user name I have on have on the server.
I'm  using  Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 with Service pack 2. 
Hardware is a Viglen Contender machine.

If you need any other information let me know.

I have installed the same program on a windows 2000 platform and did not 
experience any problems and I'd just like to say thanks for all your 
hard work in putting together what looks like a great piece of software.

warm regards
Pete
