05/16-05/18 - Final Release Notes:  Development notes have all
been moved to cc11note.txt, inside lnws-11h.zip archive.  Initial spell
check was done on May 14-15.  05/18:  Did initial work on LNWS-11.TXT
on May 16th.  Issue's release delayed due to modem/ISP troubles.  So
this issue's coverage span ended up being three months.
    LordNews List note: For the time being, please avoid sending ZIP
files to the list.  The first LordNews Digest message had one embedded
inside, in binary code, which isn't fun to read.  If you want to
distribute a LORD program, to List members, please just provide an URL
for others to download it from.
    Janis Kracht Info: She will be moving to New York on May 25th, so
the Filegate system will be off-line for a few days.  This means that
my Camelot LordNews FDN site will be unavailable during that time.
If you need a LORD program, look on the Lord Legacy FTP server or send
me an Email request for it.

                    LORD Programming Situation Section:

IceRage News: 04/14: Learned from Janet Terry, that Joe Marcelletti
had admitted that he had no intention of completing v3.00 of Wildcat
Tournament Lord. So the program is classified as dead. He sells
registrations for it, but will not provide update support.

Acquiring LORD 4.07 Beta: To obtain 4.07 beta, for use with either
4.05pb or 4.06, send email message to e_maus@covingtononline.com.
Subject should be "send me lord", "send me lord2" to get Lord2 beta,
or "send me teos" to get the TEOS beta. In message text, simply state
what you are requesting. I believe you have to do a separate message
for each program beta being requested. Users are advised to always
backup their current game before using a beta version. Send bug
reports to Michael, if you spot anything that needs fixing.

04/30: Michael chose to not participate in this issue. He continues to
work on LORD, LORD II, TEOS, etc. For use by webmasters, he has
created a web-page access counter named ZCount. Contact him for info
about it.  It uses the PHP language, and is customizable.
=================================================================

                          LORD Features Analysis:

04/09: Michael has updated copies of Lord.doc and Lady.doc, they
simply got omitted from the LORD v4.06 distribution archive last year.
Work on Lady.doc is ongoing as Gordon Lewicky, myself, and others
report Lady script problems that need fixing, or suggest possible
features that should be added. Examples: Lady scripts being able to
write a message to the Daily News file. Various Lady script variables
are being worked on as version 4.07 is developed.

05/03: Wrote Bandit script on May 1st to steal player's weapon, and
exchange it with one of lesser value. The script does not work, as a
change to Weapon Number does not initiate LORD to change Weapon Name
also.  05/15: I don't know how IGMs are able to change names of
Weapons and Armour, but its impossible to do so using a Lady Script.
Both fields are read-only, according to Gordon Lewicky's research. My
own research shows that in LORD v4.02 you could use Lordcfg to change
the Number fields, but Lord never changed the Weapon/Armour Names to
match. Both number fields were eliminated from Lordcfg in v4.05pb. In
the Bandit, the weapon number determines how much strength points are
lost by the player. I saw no point in writing a script that was based
on Armour Number.

                       KDrive/KLord problems report:

                 Charlie Wardick:  chasware2002@earthlink.net
                 --------------------------------------------
02/25: Work continuing on beta testing of Changeling IGM
update. Info on solving KDrive's trouble handling/reporting fairies,
received today from Charlie. In a nutshell, it is a simple process.
Kdrive reads the INFO.X file at startup to get user info passed from
Lord.  Kdrive doesn't read in the fairy. The fix is for the programmer
to manually read the info.x file, and get the correct info from line 4
of the info.x, and code accordingly to add a fairy back to the player.
Added text file CC11-Fairy.Txt to LordNews Issue #11 Archive,
containing information from Charlie on KDrive Fairy situation. 03/16:
I've written the ANGEL version of KDrive's KLord stuff. I've also
written a KDrive compatibility unit for the ANGEL door-kit to make it
easy to recompile a KDrive-based door to Angel with minimal fuss and
broken code. 03/20: Program names for those two files are KAngel
(Kdrive compatible Angel) and AngLord (Lord support for Angel).
Working on fixing a status bar bug in the Angel tool-kit.

03/25: The Changeling v2.00 is ready for public release. There are two
executable versions: the first is adapted KDrive code, and the second
is Angel code-based. Will be put into circulation tonight. He has now
retired from LORD programming. <05/11 -Charlie: I've given my
Changeling code to a well known author that has not made any official
announcement yet that they possess the code. The Changeling should be
relatively bug-free.  However, I have discovered that there is a
problem with my range checking routines.  You are fine if you are well
under the max limits. Charlie is developing a new BBS door game named
Daring Rednecks of Legends (DROL). Contact him for info about it.
        ------------------------------------------------------------

DGT: This is a list of problems with KDrive/KLord v7.20 that I have
learned of. Info about Fairy handling was first learned be me from
Lloyd Hannesson.  All other info listed here is from Charlie Wardick.
Thanks guys for your hard work. (1) The IGM installation routines are
broken, and mostly unusable. DGT Example: Using Haunted Mansion v1.80,
I found that it would write to the lognow.txt file to do an install
message, but did nothing else. The IGM turned out to be usable if one
uses the command string used by The Changeling v2.00. (2) KDrive does
not properly report fairy info back to LORD. Details: Using KLord
v7.2, if you have a fairy and enter an IGM written with KDrive 7.2,
you won't have a fairy inside the IGM, or when you return to LORD. The
IGM's author needs to check for fairy themselves, and list the player
as having one, if they are supposed to have one.  KDrive will properly
write back the fairy info. This is why, I believe, the previous
version of Felicity's Temple let you keep an Fairy when you were
awarded one by the IGM. See the cc11-fairy.txt file, inside
lnws-11h.zip, for info provided by Lloyd and Charlie on handling the
Fairy issue correctly. It contains Pascal code for fixing the broken
KDrive fairy-handling commands.

(3) The IGM Logging function is broken and unusable. (4) Usage of
KDrive in an LORD IGM may result in odd handling of the Skill points.
(5) Several documented commands no longer exist in several cases. Or
they no longer work as documented. Charlie used his MailSpy program
for testing. It was written with KDrive 6.x, and compiles and works
(once the RTE200 is handled). Using the same code, MailSpy compiled
with KDrive/Klord 7.20. No code had to be changed, however the program
would not run. (6) All versions of KDrive/KLord do range checking for
LORD stats based on the ranges used by Seth. So it is not very usable
with IGMs developed for usage with LORD v4.02+, due to changes made to
LORD by Michael. It is usable, however, any range value of INTEGER or
LONGINT are being capped by Lord at a value less than the max.
Examples: INTEGER is 32,767, but Lord counts up to only 32,000.
LONGINT = 2,147,483,647, Lord stops at 2,000,000,000. Kdrive will
range check over the Lord max. Charlie: I added code to The Changeling
to account for this. I experimented with using values over the Lord
max and the results were less than perfect. and I don't recall
specifics things I tested, however you could expect to see values
zeroed out or go negative.

(7) Using KDrive 7.20, Charlie has had DOS window lockups and/or DOS
Only sessions locking up while testing his Changeling IGM. Using a
basic test IGM and basic normal door with both KDrive 7.0 and 7.2, he
only saw the lockups occur when v7.2 was used. This he thinks is
limited to IGM authors using the Windows 98SE system, as the situation
did not occur when he used Win-XP. (8) KDrive 7.20-based IGMs do not
keep proper track of the time an user spends in them, unless the
author fixes its broken procedures that cover that function.

Haunted Mansion Install note: You have to manually install the
program.  Optionally, you can run the broken IGM setup if you want the
IGM welcome added to Daily Happenings. It works in either the main
LORD directory, or in an subdirectory. With alteration to fit your own
game setup, use these lines in 3rdparty.dat:
"C:\Internet\Lord\IGMs\IGMH.EXE /TLord /N* /PC:\Internet\Lord". On the
second line, use "Haunted Mansion". It may work without the /Tlord
parameter. The IGM's text is hard to read on-screen so I skipped any
further analysis of it.

                        Angel Tool-Kit Notes Section:
                          Info from Charlie Wardick:
                   ----------------------------------------
03/15: The Angel door-kit now supports LORD IGMs. Its routines for
accessing player.dat still need work though. The Changeling IGM's
code has been recompiled with Angel. 03/25: Changeling was released
today officially in KDrive-based code, and in Angel-based code, using
two executable files. 03/16: I've essentially written the Angel
version of KDrive's KLord stuff. I have also written a KDrive
compatibility unit for the Angel door kit to make it easy to recompile
a KDrive-based door game to Angel with minimal fuss and broken code.
03/25: Angel now properly keeps track of player's time usage in Angel-
coded IGMs.
=================================================================

                LADY Scripts, RHP IGM Programming Section:

03/21-03/24: Wrote an RHP IGM for use in Outlands Tavern on March
21th. It is called The Secret Alcove. Working on fine- tuning it to do
suitable reward/penalty outcomes. Included it inside the Outlands
Tavern RHP Set #1 archive. There are two versions, with the second one
imposing penalties for infidelity by married players. v1.00 was
released on March 25. 03/30: Version 1.10 was tested and released. The
married player who is a Gentleman/Lady receives healing.

03/22-03/24: I wrote my first LORD Lady Scripts: Sharpen Weapon and
Polish Armour. They were released on March 25th. 03/30: 5 more scripts
are in progress. Wrote initial draft of my Gem Trader script. Gordon
Lewicky did drafts of TaxMan and Goofy Events. The latter contains
three scripts: DragonPoop, Horny, and SexChange. Our scripts are
distributed together inside the dgt-lady.zip archive. 04/03: Gordon's
TaxMan and Goofy Events scripts, and my Gem Trader script, were
publicly released today.  04/13: Final revision of TaxMan released.
04/19: Final revision of Goofy Events released. My Two-Gems script was
released, with revision of Sharpen.ldy.

04/20: In the past week, Gordon released Doofus the Gnome, the Lady
Language Quirks file, and his Random Number Count programs. I released
the Nice Hag and High Spirits scripts. I also released my Two Gems,
Pretty-Stick, Ugly-Stick scripts. Scripts by Michael Everett and Dan
Stovall were tested and released, inside dgt-lady collection. They are
Golden Tree, Blue Fairy, and Ruined Castle. Released revision of
Polish.ldy. 04/22: Released my New Skill Use Point script. 04/25:
Released my Charm Tax Man script. 04/26: Gordon released revision of
The Gnome.  04/26: Released The Gem Trader v1.06. 04/27: Released Two
Temp Hitpoints, Pretty-Stick, and Ugly-Stick scripts. The latter are
variations of original LORD scripts. 05/07: Released The Nice Hag
v1.12, The Bandit v1.00, and High Spirits v1.01 scripts.

                Milky Way 1:153/307;  AdventureNet 33:500/150
        ------------------------------------------------------------
03/24: Gordon has written a TaxMan Lady script, which he's going to
send to me for public distribution. When you reach 10 million Gold in
Bank, it starts imposing an income tax. If you have 10+ million, there
is a 10% tax.  Moving up to where there is a 50% tax if player has 1+
billion Gold.  He reports seeing possible problems in most versions of
LORD, from v3.55 forward, involving bank overflow situations. Such as
overflows in the game itself, from bank monetary transfers tipping an
account over, gambling in the Dark Cloak Tavern, the forest Blackjack
event, Gold on Hand handling during forest fights, and from the Magic
Happens event when Seth Sings. He altered his Lord.ldy file, where it
executes the Horse Event. Lord v4.06's file uses a double random test
for the Horse, which means that you have a 20% chance of getting to
the second test. That one has a 25% chance of your seeing the Horse
event. So the end user has a resulting 5% chance of seeing it. Easiest
solution is to remove the second random test from your lord.ldy file.
Gordon runs an InterLord game with Barak's House, Wise Man, and
Inter-Lord.

03/30: Gordon's TaxMan.ldy scripts taxes the player each time they
encounter it. Everyone who has more than 1 million gold gets taxed.
Goofy.ldy is his new project utilizing LADY's Boolean variables.
DragonPoop has you slipping in the Red Dragon's poop, with various
outcomes, including death. Horny script allows player to use Romantic
Mail, if it has already been used. SexChange script has angry fairies
who give you an undesired Sex change magically. 04/20 Update: Gordon
released Doofus, the Gnome, Gem Trader Supreme, this past week. Doofus
is like Peddler Jack, but is quite different. Both will sell you
potions for Gems. Doofus also will sell you an Orphan or an Horse. If
you swindle either, you get punished. Doofus will beat you nearly to
death, and take your gems, if you are dishonest and are caught.
LdyQuirk.zip contains Gordon's analysis of quirks and oddities in
the LADY Script Language, pertaining to LORD v4.06 and 4.07 beta.

05/15: LADY research notes by myself, Gordon Lewicky, and Charlie
Wardick from the past two weeks. We used count.ldy and count.exe
(inside the ldyquirk.zip file), and Pcount2.exe (by Charlie). The Lady
script engine fails to return an zero on repeated tests of Count.ldy.
Using 10,000 repetitions of Count.ldy, and a seed value of 9, only 1-3
numbers ever got selected. At present, LORD can not do truly Random
number generation.  To learn more about this, try running Count and
Pcount yourself. The Pcount files have been added to Ldyquirk.zip, and
the update will be distributed today. For more info, write to Gordon
via Email.
=================================================================

                        LORD Source Code Proposal:

05/15 rewrite: Created section on May 11th. I have been beating my
head against a stone wall for months trying to bring as many IGMs with
RTE200 back to life as possible. Most old authors have proven
impossible to reach using Email addresses found via search engines.
Some authors refuse to acknowledge email, and have abandoned their
programs. I am currently retesting RTE200 igms to see if I can salvage
any more, using an EXE file decompression utility and the ctbppat
RTE200 patch utility. I will do the same with Lord utilities during
the remainder of May, and in June.

In the hope that it might generate some action, I proposed last
weekend that LORD authors send me copies of their IGM/utility source
code archives to put in an Source Code storehouse. To date, no one has
taken me up on the offer. I would only release an author's programs to
another active author after they had been missing for over 2-3 months.
The new author would assume support for the programs, and provide
updates for them, if they were ever needed. If/when the original
author appeared again, they would be able to resume support and
development of their programs from the temporary host. If you wish to
participate, then contact me via email, and we'll work out the
arrangements. I would attempt to reach an author by Fidonet, email,
and postal mail, before releasing their programs to the temporary
host. My interest in saving IGMs is well-known to everyone, so I hope
everyone will consider making arrangements so that your programs will
be support-able if you die or otherwise disappear from the LORD scene.
The recent loss of Lloyd Hannesson, and last year's loss of Korombos,
led me to make this proposal.

Marty is working on adapting Dave's Inn IGM to the QWK-IGM format.
04/27: Marty has put off further work on Dave's Inn, until Bryan
Turner's new EZYIGM program is released. He will adapt the IGM to work
with either EasyDoor or the new EzyIgm program.

                 Brad Carson:  the_carse@hotmail.com
        ------------------------------------------------------------
02/25: I wrote several add-on programs for LORD. I also wrote
a door game named Armageddon about three years ago and hosted it on my
BBS (Eternal Darkness) in Peterborough, Ontario, but with BBS use in
severe decline, it unfortunately never really caught on. 02/26: I
think what you are doing is great. I was truly sad to see the BBS era
decline. I don't know of any boards in my area anymore. LORD was one
of my favorite games and it got me hooked into game design. I managed
to find a disk which I believe contains the source to my two IGMS.
(DGT: My initial message to Brad asked if he could update Obo's Black
Market and Redwood Restaurant.) There are two other IGMS listed on the
disk, one of which is for Planets: TEOS, I think, and the other I'm
not sure about. Your work has inspired me, and I will try to resolve
the RTE200 error and re-release the IGMs as freeware as soon as I have
some time. ... Ruth Argust helped me with the release of Armageddon
years ago. I'll consider re-releasing it if there is enough BBS users
out there interested in it. You have stirred my interest, and I'd like
to see what's still out there in terms of boards and the people
involved. It's hard to find time right now, but I'll keep you posted
on my progress.

03/02: I've managed to patch the IGMs with one of the utilities you
sent me. It works in a "coerced" local mode here, by that I mean that
it doesn't really run in local mode at all, unless it is fed a dummy
BBS drop file.  While reminiscing through the programs, I discovered
that they aren't very robust or flexible and there are several errors.
They aren't particularly exciting (least of all OBO), but I would like
to fix them up, as there seems to still be interest out there. I
should be able to provide new versions shortly when I get some time
and I'll gladly release them as freeware. The disk I found contained
two TEOS IGMs, whose status I'm not sure of yet. 03/03: My IGMs were
written in 1996 when I was in the 10th grade, with assistance from
Seth Robinson and a few others. The IGMs were not running in local
mode, because they were looking for the DORINFOx.DEF file. I got them
to run successfully with the dummy drop file. I'll be working on
disabling the IGM's registration features.

03/06: I've gone through 2000 lines of source code for the Redwood
IGM. It is now restructured and debugged. The configuration program is
also heavily modified, and is more user-friendly now. Will be adding
some new features and removing some useless ones from it later. Have
not decided yet whether to continue support the Obo IGM. It was my
first IGM, is very simple, and allows the purchase of LORD game stats
for gold. So I now feel it detracts from the Lord playing experience.
The two TEOS IGMs that I have, which are being worked on now, are
called Star Shadow and Ice Caves. The first one is a kind of graphic
shoot-em-up game. Have not tested it yet, so don't know yet if it is
working. The Ice Caves IGM may not work, and I'm not sure what it does
yet. Going to look over both of them soon. I've used the new CRT
library and successfully recompiled all four programs. Also tested the
RTE200 patch programs, and found both pent2.exe and tppatch.exe didn't
work for me. The program ctbppat.exe did work successfully on my
programs.

03/11: Spent last few days sifting through Redwood code, and am now
doing alpha testing locally on it. Its installation program is updated
and more user-friendly now. It should fully function under multi-node
conditions, but I can't test for that myself. Tavern events are toned
now to be more fun, and have less impact on the overall LORD game. So
it doesn't drastically modify Lord statistics any more. Have not
decided what to do with Obo yet. I may recompile its code to get rid
of RTE200, and change price settings on it. But I'm not sure about
promoting it as an IGM, because it's not very fun or fair. I have the
Redwood program ready for you to test now. It will be awhile before I
work on Obo or the TEOS IGMs.  Note: Received IGM as redwd-v2.zip, and
started testing it.

03/14: Thanks for the suggestions on the IGM. I'll change the color
scheme and make the screens easier to read. Note: Brad gave me run-
down on how the IGM works, and is including the info in the program's
documentation.  It's lengthy, so I'm skipping its inclusion here. He's
adding View Stats and "ATM" features to the IGM, and asked me to hold
off distribution of the beta IGM. He is at Trent University, in
Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.  Doing his last year as a Computer
Science major. The BBS door game that he had on the marked was named
Armageddon, but it needs a lot of work. So he may rewrite it this
summer. 03/24: Received v2.10b of Redwood Restaurant for testing.
Update now includes new color scheme, etc. 03/25: Redwood Restaurant
officially released today as v3.00.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Ciesiensky, Jr. 03/25: Established contact with Mike via
forwarded postcard sent to his old address. He is the author of
Turgeon's House, and still has the source code for the 2.50 version.
The v2.80 code was lost over the years. He's already recompiled the
code and taken care of the RTE200 problem, and is working on bringing
the IGM up-to-date. Beta testing the recompiled file has not revealed
any problems so far. He is going to include the following changes:
Allow user to install IGM in a subdirectory if they wish to; add a
View Stats function; and otherwise bring the IGM up to current
compatibility with LORD v4.0x. He used DDPlus v7.10 in the IGM,
and would like to see it updated. A slimmed down version, without
items that an IGM doesn't need, would be nice to have. He wrote his
IGM to always be a challenge to figure out.

A lot of his events are randomized, so you can't "cause" something to
happen. He uses an LordIGM.pas file to keep all the procedures and
functions used by his IGM in, so that the main IGM code can be kept
small. And the file unit can be included in other IGMs easily.  His
IGM is spelled Turgeon because its British English, like the LORD
defensive equipment is named Armour, instead of Armor. 04/30:
Turgeon's House v3.00 finished beta testing last week, and was
publicly released on April 28th. The next planned update will be
around September.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
03/06: I'm back online again at www.bobobbs.net, and will be uploading
a totally new site over Spring Break next week. I got a good deal on
domain hosting from a friend here at school. If anyone needs a domain
hosted, he can do it for $50 a year, and you get something like 1 GB
transfer per month, and 1 GB of disk space. Next thing I have to work
on is getting a server to redirect telnet sessions from its IP to my
own school IP. I can't DNS the school's IPs, but I don't think
forwarding the packets from port 23 of some co-located/DNSed server to
my IP here on campus would cause any problems. They have no problem
with me running a BBS, they just don't want their IPs being DNSed by
any other DNS server than their own. If anyone has a good contact with
a cheap colocation company, I would really appreciate their help. I
just need my own IP and a very small amount of bandwidth since the
server is just gonna say "what you want isn't here, it's at this IP."
I have a tower system that can do the redirects or a rack mounted box
if they require that. Someone around North Carolina would really be
best.  04/30: May have lost contact with Michael again. Old
goldsboro.net address is no longer usable.

       Gary's LORD IGMs Page:  http://arenabbs.n3.net/igms.html
        ------------------------------------------------------------
02/23: Gary sent me corrected versions of his Trick or Treat IGM
(v1.01), Abandoned Mines IGM (v1.11), and a new IGM file "Dude With A
Joint" (joint.rhp) for the Outlands Tavern IGM. They are available
from my Lord IGMs page, and other locations. He's working on setting
up a Synchronet-based BBS. His main priority will be finishing
college, and getting employment. But he's not leaving the Lord
community altogether.  Please remember to give Gary and others
feedback on programs they've written. 03/09: Gary's graduating with a
4.00 GPA, and is looking into writing IGMs in C++ language. So if
anyone can provide him assistance with that, please do so. 03/10: Gary
lives in Pittsburgh, and will get to wear a gold sash at graduation.
03/11: I've finished another script for Outlands Tavern, and will have
it ready soon. I'm thinking about rewriting the Across the Tracks IGM,
that Tom Toothman did. (One of the authors who have disappeared.)

03/15: Have finished the docs for The Outlands Tavern RHP Set #1
(otrhp1.zip). Some values in the Dude With A Joint RHP are updated to
cover better hitpoints/defense rewards, and the punishment for passing
out is updated. Found a bug in the RHP scripting language. If you use
the @fights@ command to alter the number of player fights, the code
line is displayed to the screen, instead of producing a typical LORD
stats change message.  The second RHP script is called Meet A
Stranger. 03/17: Info relayed by Gary from Jason: Use @fight@ code
instead for player fights. Gary is attending the International Academy
of Design and Technology.

03/20 Notes: Revised versions of Jason's RHP Code documentation files
done by myself and Gary, and submitted to Jason Brown for approval.
Section for LORD text color codes added to each IGM's RHP Codes file.
Rewritten docs done by myself for L.O.R.D. Cavern, the two LORD Cavern
RHP Sets, and The Gateway; sent to Jason for approval, and usage.
Problem discovered, and reported to Jason, by both of us, in how the
Cavern and Tavern IGMs handle RHP files. The third RHP scripts and
others are either not accessed at all, or very rarely. In the RHP
language, the @defence@ code is misspelled.  It's supposed to be
@defense@. 03/22-23: Discussed Secret Alcove RHP code with Gary for
ideas on how to do my first RHP program for Outlands Tavern better.
Also got feedback from Gary on my two LORD Lady Scripts - polish.ldy
and sharpen.ldy.

04/05: The Arena BBS will open to the public on April 16. There will
be 5 nodes and 4 games of LORD: Game 1: 10 deeds, no IGMs, 40 FFs, 4
PFs; Game 2: 50 deeds, only 4-5 IGMs, 25 FF, 3 PF; Game 3: 20 deeds,
10 IGMs, 25 FF, 3 PF; Game 4: *Adult game* 10 deeds, 8-10 IGMs, 15 FF,
3 PF. You must be 18 years of age or older to join. For security
reasons, I perform manual validation. Users will receive 30 min a day
until validated; once they are validated, they will receive 4 hours a
day. Also, I am offering 8 hours a day for donaters. $5 = 8 hours a
day for a month. The telnet address is: arenabbs.2y.net . Secondary

today.  04/20: Gary graduated from college last weekend. He is working
on a new Gateway IGM, for release sometime this summer. 05/03: Gary is
adapting the unusable IGM, Aladdin's Palace v2.00, to bring it back to
life, to work as an Gateway RHP IGM program.

            BackAlley Software: http://www.backalley.net/
        ------------------------------------------------------------
02/25: Discovered Jay through the Google search engine. Out of several
old author searches, this one worked. Good news is he is going to make
his IGMs freeware, and is updating them all with new text files. Bad
news is that he lost the source code and registration code generator
programs years ago, so full version updates are not possible. He has
given his permission for anyone else who wishes to, to take over his
IGMs and rewrite new versions of them, if they wish to do so. At
present, he is checking into ways for people to register the Thor's
Backalley IGMs. In order to make Werewolf v3.01 fully usable, all the
user needs to is the following. Install Werewolf, and use 'Jay Hodges'
for Sysop Name and 'BackAlley BBS' for BBS Name. Then the IGM will
allow full usage. I have already supplied him with an RTE200 patched
copy of the Werewolf.exe file, so the IGM is fully usable once you do
this. If old registered users of his IGMs will send in information on
their registrations, Jay will try writing a program to generate new
registration codes for them. Otherwise, he's not going to try to
support the programs, which were written when he was 19, and in
college.

Jay is putting up a web-site - http://backalley.net - and will list
his IGM files there for people to download them. His Draco Digital
firm provides graphics design, custom programming, web design,
database programming, custom graphics, print proofing, multimedia
production, etc. Plus he offers web-site hosting services. Jay advises
that all of the IGMs would be fairly easy to replicate except for
BackAlley Bar and BackAlley Orphanage.  The Bar IGM had various tricks
related to mixing drinks/drugs, etc, which were never discovered. And
the Orphanage had a random dungeon maze that he thinks people never
located. Possibly he will retry IGM programming himself at some point,
and rewrite IGMs in C language. List of Jay's other programs:
BackAlley Church, Elaikses Tower, Forest of Intrigue, and Seth's
Cottage. His IGMs will work from Lord subdirectories, but you have to
manually move the IGM's files. The installation code in the various
IGMs had some problems. The BackAlley Bar can also be registered by
using Jay's Sysop name and BBS name info.

03/12: I was wondering if anyone has considered moving LORD to the
Internet as a database-driven game? I think that moving all the data
files into a relational database, using a graphical interface, and
providing easily used tools for IGM programmers would bring new life
to the LORD game. One could write import/export files to update entire
player.dat files, etc. and so forth. If Gameport is interested, and
acquiring a license/purchase of LORD's source code was not too costly,
I would like to undertake this project. 03/22-24: No luck yet getting
an usable registration system for BackAlley Church. Gave me info on
Forest of Intrigue. To get out of the maze, one simply moves South
several times. To properly use FOI IGM, one has to manually move
FOI.MON file to your FOI subdirectory.

FOI Hints: Each location is based on a 7-digit number that can spell
messages, or is just a numbered sequence. Examples: 2222222 - Exit;
9482438 - Wacky Witches; 4325378 - Healers Hut; 3864366 - Dungeons Of
Intrigue; In the Dungeons Of Intrigue: 2222222 - Exits To Forest,
8342849 - Drow Elves, 8735234 - Healer. Other locations can be found
using letters from a telephone's keypad, and following corresponding
directions. If anyone finds a new location, they are requested to send
Jay the 7-digit code and info on it, to jay@bacalley.net.

small FreeDoor revision, to fix ANSI display problems. He's still
waiting for a usable Lord/Win32 program to work with. When it becomes
available, he will work on and release an 32-bit LORD IGM interface
for FreeDoor.

03/04: Here is an update on the plans for the various L2 worlds I have
going. DuneLord2 is in testing, waiting on feedback from people before
I go any further with it. L2WoT: Slowly ploughing through the creation
of the map on this *still*, but I'll get there. L2-Eddings Style:
Still jotting down the plans for this, and creating the basic layout.
I was thinking of making a few versions of this one, based on each
series. The Mallorean and Belgariad series both use the same map so
can be fused together. The Elenium uses an completely different map,
so I could do a version for that, etc. Will catch up with updates of
my web-site soon. Been swamped with work on other people's sites.

05/06: Fieldsoft IGMs would appreciate it very much if everyone would
delete copies of our old IGMs and not distribute them. New versions of
all our games are underway, and will be released soon. 05/07 Notice:
Max Larivee was granted permission by Bobby Queen tonight to take over
the Official Lord II IGM Archive Site. Details will be published as to
new location sometime soon. 05/09: Removed hyperlink for Fieldsoft
site from Entry header, at Max's request. He's relocating his site
soon, so he asked me to not use the current site address.
    05/18:  Shannon Talley setup two new sites for Max on the Fidotel
server.  Max's site is being setup at:
http://www.fidotel.com/public/fieldsoft/.  The new Lord2 IGM Archive
Site is being setup at:  http://www.fidotel.com/public/l2archive/.
Max released on Thursday updates of his Lord2 IGMs - HillSide City
v2.10 and SandLand Village v2.00.  Nash has finished fixing up the
FieldSoft IGMs site now.  Max is going to set up a new Lord2 Forum
and a new Lord2 web-ring - Lord II: The Scene, as time permits.  The
Lord II Forum will be part of the Lord2 IGM Archive site.

03/19: Shannon is currently aboard his U.S. Navy warship, doing his
naval intelligence duties. So he will not be doing LORD stuff until he
returns to his home port in New Jersey. 05/16: He has set up my
LordNews List so that all subscribers will receive a Digest every
seven days.  Any ZIP files transmitted to list members will also be
received by everyone.
    05/16:  Shannon's server port changed, so he advises that people
use www.fidotel.com in links they have to his site, the IceRage site,
and other sites hosted by him.  His DNS service does automatic port
resolution, so there is no more need to use fidotel.com:82.  He has
setup web-site accounts for Max Larivee -- check Max's entry for

        ------------------------------------------------------------
02/25: Janet's new IGMs page went online around February 9th. It lists
all of her BBS door programs for download. As of April 30th, Janet has
released new versions of Molun's Tavern v2.00, Wild Wild West v3.00,
Spring Menus for WT-Lord, Food Fight II v6.00, and Blackwing's Cove
v2.00/v2.10.  Other updates are being worked on for her by Joseph
Watson, and his friend Bobby Thornton. Janet and her daughter Megan
are fellow cat lovers. 05/11: Janet is working on updates of her other
IGMs, which are: Scarlett, First Knight of Vandora; Erchenlagenhalle;
Ask Clinton; and The Jeweler.

05/11 - Janet: Could we all link to one another to help promote LORD
again?  I just started a game, and just got my system set back up. I
could use some players over here. A little help would be appreciated.
And I will exchange links, banners or whatever. It would be better if
we could have a small program that actually advertises the systems
running LORD right in LORD, like the Daily News log where players can
hit a key and get a list. Or something like that. If we are going to
promote, then let's stick together and do it. 05/14: Janet is working
on Blackwing's Cove v2.20, and it will be distributed soon.  05/17:
Received the debugged IGM archive for distribution.  Will hatch it to
Fidonet on Saturday.

02/25: Bryan is working as usual on his Operation Overkill program
interests, and on updating The Lottery IGM. Which he took over from
Chuck Culver in January. 03/01: Bryan has released The Lottery v2.01,
and it is available from his web-site. 03/06: Discovered that Bryan
has changed addresses, and set up his own domain: www.vbsoft.org/.
Updated all previous LordNews issues' web-pages to update his web-site
address info accordingly.  Bryan is still using the Darktech email
account. Its contents are forwarded to his new vbsoft account. There
is also a new domain devoted to Overkill matters now. 03/19: Bryan is
working on updating Sommer's Shiny Things. It is recompiled
successfully, and is being gone over to make sure that all IGM
routines work as intended. He is working on fixing a bug in Inter-Lord
which causes an registered LORD v4.0x game to become un-registered. He
released a recent update of the Easy Door tool-kit program, which is
for BASIC programmers. It is NOT for LORD use, but he is considering
adding LORD IGM support to it eventually.

04/09: Bryan has taken over The Changeling v2.00 LORD IGM from Charlie
Wardick, and is providing support and a new home for it now. 04/25:
VagaSoft List info. My next project is EZYIGM, and it is almost ready
to be tested. After that, I will be doing a new IGM called Kiteria's
Brothel.  04/29: Bryan released Sommer's Shiny Things v2.00 LORD IGM
today, which was taken over from Shawn Highfield. 05/12: He has agreed
to finish the work on Gallagher's Performance, MoshPit, and The
Outhouse that was left undone when Lloyd Hannesson dissappeared. [Red

        ---------------------------------------------------------
02/25: Lloyd has put Outhouse on back burner status for awhile, and is
working on a new release of Gallagher's Performance. It has an
consistent color scheme throughout now, some more content, and is now
limited to one use per day. He's going to probably re-write Outhouse
from scratch to eliminate some persistent bugs. 03/03: Added 03/19.
Gallagher's Performance v2.00 is up and working. MoshPit is also
working, but its changes haven't been finalized yet. He is almost
finished on back-end coding to handle listing LORD Menuset programs on
his web-site. The current plan for Outhouse is to reorganize it into a
Lady Scripted program. Lloyd needs info on an ANSI editor program that
works on current systems - i.e. does not have RTE200 errors. I have
beta tested the Gallagher v2.0 IGM and it works well on my Pentium III
system.

04/30 Notes: Lloyd is now classified as a Lost author due to inability
to reach him in past two months approximately. His Telnet site is
unavailable, and my access to the Lord IGMs Database is no longer
working. So for reasons unknown, Lloyd's site is dead. 05/11: Unless
someone else takes them over, Gallagher's Performance, The Outhouse,
and MoshPit are classified as abandoned. I am also classifying
Felicity's Temple v2.10, Warrior's Graveyard v1.80, Ye Olde Farm
v1.00, the Lord2 IGM versions of Felicity and Graveyard, LordMenu
v1.30, and LordType v1.10 as abandoned at this time. I never had
source code for Lloyd's original programs, or for his in progress
updates of Gallagher, Outhouse, Moshpit, and Hal's Ocean View Resort.
My email messages to University of Manitoba's contact people remain
unanswered.

pentae@zorgco.com if anyone wants to write him.

David Hasbrouck. Author of Old Skull Inn. He lost the source code over
the years, and is no longer involved in BBSing. He does not plan to
revise the IGM's .doc files.  Email: davidh@mywebsitehost.com.

Paul Mullins - paulmull@swbell.net:
Entry added 05/18. 04/13:  Heard from Paul, an old LORD friend.
He was digging around in his hard drive and found his old IGM,
Realm of Lore.  It was up to v144.5 beta, but never released.
He got it to run locally on his AMD Ahtlon system.  He decided
to release the IGM's Pascal source code publicly, so that others
could benefit from studying it.  04/16: Received code archive,
Roldev.zip from Paul.  He used modified DDPlus code in making it.
04/21: He is now involved with Quake programming, in C language.
04/25: Had told Paul about the RTE200 situation, and he went to work
using the CRT library update, by Pedt Scragg, that I sent him, to
update/fix the IGM.  04/27: Paul released Realm of Lore v1.44 through
me publicly today.  It is locked in "registered mode" thus making it
a Freeware release.  The config options and game features are all
enabled, including any hidden secrets.

ROL IGM Info - Paul's wording:  Realm of LORE v1.44 LORD IGM.
One of the best IGMs for LORD!  Multiple regions for players to
conquest.  Many foes to battle and treasures to find.  A must play
for the serious LORD fan!  Change Class, Learn Skills, Trade Weapons
and Armours, Camp-sites and much More!  Runtime 200 FIXED, Freeware
release.  DGT Note: Publicly released on April 28.  Code archive
Roldev.zip was publicly released on April 29.  Re-posted on May 02,
with an file_id.diz file. I almost forgot about Paul's info. Sorry
about that, Paul.

Kenneth Padgett: 04/05: Feb. 27 info. Author of Hiding in the Shadows
LORD IGM. He wrote in to let me know that his maverick@lords.com email
address would be obsolete soon. His current/new email address is
kenneth@itlifesaver.com. 05/11: Originally, I had wanted to update my
Hiding in the Shadows IGM, but aside from not having the time lately,
I also need to find my Turbo Pascal install disks, source code, and
read up on that RTE stuff... I suppose the source code idea would
work... I'll have to look for mine, someday soon.

Jonathan Rosebaugh. 04/29: Lost QuickBasic source code for Nudist
Colony LORD IGM years ago. Does not support the program these days,
and does not care now what is done with it. Web-site:
http://www.plover.net/~skip/ (non-LORD).  Email: skip@plover.net.

Marc Ryan. Author of unfinished Pleasant Valley IGM. He does not plan
to finish the program, and prefers for people to not list it for
download anywhere. Has not received any feedback on it, other than
from me.  Also has not has had a single request for the full version.
So he sees no point in making a new, complete version.  Email:

see it at: http://www.acad.dynip.com/default/revenge.htm. Page is
simply a long list of acronyms used by the IGM. Due to lack of news,
Chuck is still classified as inactive.

03/25 Notes: I updated the documentation files, with Gary Hartzell's
assistance, for Jason's IGMs L.O.R.D. Cavern, The Gateway, and the two
LORD Cavern RHP Set files completely. The RHP Codes files only are
updated for Outlands Tavern. I'll be fixing up his text files soon for
RHPTest, LordStat, Outlands Tavern, and the Stones Lord2 IGM. Jason
asked me to find someone willing to take over his Lord programs. But
no one stepped forward.  He is considering turning them over to me to
take care of. No actual decision made on matter as of April 20th. My
friend Gary Hartzell is willing to take over The Gateway IGM, which he
is familiar with. And I'm fully willing to handle L.O.R.D. Cavern and
Outlands Tavern, if that comes to pass.

reported as dead back in January. 04/30: No work reported on Lord II:
CNW, by Joel, since last summer. Yahoo email address is working

05/08/02: Bobby shut down the Official Lord2 IGM Archive site and
Kiteria's Korner in early April 2002. The two webjump mirror sites
were dumped by the webjump.com firm in late March. I took over total
control of the Kiteria's Korner site, and relocated it along with my
own, to Michael Preslar's server. Bobby has transferred control of the
Lord2 Archive to Max Larivee.  No web-site address available yet for
site, but it is being fully revamped by Max currently. Bobby is now
Fully Inactive, but continues to moderate the Lord echo on Fidonet.

02/25: Received February 05. Bryan has been dealing with some sad
events in his life, so has not done much Lord work lately. 03/25:
Purple Frog Productions took over all projects formerly held by BSS
Micropics including three LORD IGMs last year. In addition to
providing support for previous versions, Purple Frog
(http://www.purplefrogprod.com/) has produced new versions of all
three IGMs (LORD Suburbia, The Apothecary, and Grizelda's House). All
are in various stages of Beta Testing. Two, the companion IGMs
Apothecary and Grizelda's House, have now been released, after five
years, in updated versions 1.76. You can find both at
http://purplefrogprod.com/computers.html. For more information on
Purple Frog IGMs and the Purple Frog Beta Team please contact Bryan
Stanbridge (bryan@purplefrogprod.com). Thank you all, and have a Great
2002!  Bryan Stanbridge, Lead Designer, Purple Frog Productions.

03/09: Yes, I have abandoned taking care of my Lord2 site. I had my
time in the sun with Lord2, and have moved on from it now. I've also
given up on computer programming. The site goes back to 1998, and I
still monitor it occasionally. So if anyone emails me about the site
or programs I'll respond to them.

03/06: I'm still supporting my IGMs, and I still invite people to give
their demo versions a try. And when you're interesting in registering
them, just let me know. I'm also still fixing minor problems with
them, and may have updated releases of my Easter Egg Hunt and Barber
Shop IGMs out this summer. School takes most of my spare time. My
support BBS is available if needed at bbs.sdsoft.org. 03/07: Yes, I'm
waiting to see what the new WT-Lord 3.00 will bring. So that's another
reason to hold back doing some updates. I won't have time until this
summer to write any additional IGMs, but will be considering doing new
ones. [Red LORDbarline]

                        LORD IGMs Testing Section:

02/22: Determined these programs work only on a BBS system, because
they require the presence of BBS drop files. Pool of Transformation,
SpellBinder's General Store. Was unable to get Dragon's Bone Shipyards
to install, so it is now considered fully unusable. 03/11: Testing
stats: 8 IGMs reclassified as usable, using Node 1+ configuration.
And 7 IGMs are in beta testing currently.  4 IGMs are unusable in
Local Mode, and 3 IGMs were verified as usable only in BBS system
LORD games.  16 IGMs are unusable for non-RTE200 related reasons, and
106 IGMs are unusable due to partial/total RTE200 lockup.

IGM stats as of May 16, 2002:  14 igms in testing process that
work. 112 igms in Passed Testing category.  115 IGMs in Unusable
category. 3 igms in Passed Testing/Beta - unreleased by author.  6
IGMs in Non-Local unusable category.  And 25 Lady scripts released
to date by myself, Gordon Lewicky, and Michael Everett. 8 IGMs were
reclassified usable between May 11-16, 2002, using RTE200 patching
and EXE decompression utilities.

02/22 Notes: These IGMs will work in Local mode, providing you create
a Node 1 configuration. Dweebo the Geek's Clubhoue, Gate Way To
Heaven, Lord Anarchist, Lord's Brothel, Red Dragon Casino, and
Socrates Shop.  You'll have to use Start 1 to run some. Attempts to do
RTE200 patches of Redwood Restaurant, Let's Have Fun, and TeamLord did
not work for me. So all 3 are now listed as unusable in my Lord IGMs
Page's Unusable programs tables.

How to use RTE200 Patch utilities, such as Pent2.exe. Unzip an IGM
into a temporary directory under your Lord directory. Try to run each
.exe file.  If one gives RTE200, then do this (revised 05/14): (1)
First determine if an program is compressed. If it is, use UNP or some
other utility to decompress it. (2) Run ctbppat.exe on each program
file. Has to be done manually. (3) Retry executing each .EXE file. If
all .EXE files in an IGM work, install the IGM in LORD and actually
run it. Some IGMs fail this last test. They can look normal again run
from the DOS prompt, but won't work right in LORD. Example, using
Pent2: To patch barak.exe (v1.00), type "pent2 barak.exe" and press
ENTER key. Tppatch and ctbppat work the same way, except that ctbppat
requires user input all the time.

This primer is for those who've no idea how to run RTE200 patch
programs. Note: If you patch something successfully, BE SURE to back
it up. For some odd reason, what will patch one month often refuses to
patch months later. So anything you patch reliably, be sure to backup
the program somewhere. I forgot to backup my original patch of
TeamLord, and it wouldn't patch properly back in January.

No IGM updates possible: All of Trevor Herndon's IGMs: source code
stolen years ago. The Wise Guy - Adamax Creations: No valid
postal/email address.  Old Skull Inn - David Hasbrouck: source code
lost. Jonathan Rosebaugh - Nudist Colony: Source code lost. Jeff
Donchez - Lord's Brothel, various LORD Menuset files: No valid
postal/email address.  Ahkenaton - IGMs unusable due to RTE200;
classified Abandoned. Chris MacPherson - Pawn Shop.  Abandoned, RTE200
unusable. Devon Brooks -Aladdin's Palace, etc.  David Simmons -
Shauna, Princess of Sorcery, Knight's of the Golden Horseshoe.
Abandoned; RTE200 unusable. I tried for 6 months to get them updated
without any luck. Larry Patterson -no valid email address. Tied over 2
dozen possible addresses, to no avail. His Axehandler IGMs are all
RTE200 unusable.
        ---------------------------------------------------------

05/11/2002: I will resume my LORD IGMs Testing again, later this
month. I have discovered that ctbppat.exe can make some IGMs usable
again, by repairing the Delay-Function routine. Neither Pent2.exe or
Tppatch.exe were usable with such IGMs. Restored to usable status:
Aladdin's Palace v2.01; Arkhaim Asylum v2.03; Chance's Cafe v1.51; The
Surgical Clinic v1.51; and Arena of Lords v2.01. Updates done on
behalf of lost authors.

These IGMs are re-confirmed unusable. Either because of setup
problems, not working if user has more than 9 IGMs in use, or the
RTE200 doesn't go away.  Across the Tracks, Adoption Market, Aladdin's
Bar, Axehandler's Arena, Axehandler's BattleGrounds, Axehandler's
Dominion, Barton's Battle Training, Business Department, Circus of
Freaks, City of the Sun God, Haldar's Arena, and Willy Tart's
Carnival.

05/15 Notes: Daemonica - Unable to patch overlay files, which continue
to have RTE200. IGM remained unusable. However, I was able to get
component files Daerank.exe, Demed.exe, and Edmod.exe to execute,
after patching them with ctbppat. Dragon's Breath Mountain: After
patching, IGM caused repeated DOS window freezes. Remains classified
unusable. DK-Lotto: Could patch the program files, but can not see IGM
do anything when executed. Just shows a black screen with copyright
data, then a momentary flash of some other screen, before it returns
to Other Places menu. Not planning to release patch archive. Downside
Tavern:  Patching worked.  Released online on May 15th as Dside103.zip.
Castle of the DreamLord, and Dragon Town University:  With both IGMs,
I got rid of the RTE200 problem.  However I ended up with RTE 104
error messages. Both remain classified unusable.

Late Testing notes: 05/16: Examined Red Dragon Flea Market -
patched version returns RTE 104; remains unusable.  Fairy Town -
patched successfully. Will distribute soon as Ftown110.zip.  Galactic
Warriors - patched EXE files, but OVR file remained unusable due to
RTE200.  Shauna, Princess of Sorcery -and- Knight's of the Golden
Horseshoe - patched each IGM's EXE files. In both cases, the config
program worked, but the IGM remained RTE200 locked. And you get an
RTE 104 error at end of Config process.  The Graveyard - Patched
successfully. Will not work on Node 0, but works in Local mode using
Node 1. Will distribute soon as Grave340.zip.  All other IGM/utility
testing will be reported in LordNews issue #12.
=================================================================

                      LORD Utilities Testing Section:

Results as of 05/14/92: Not tested yet: 16 utility archives. Waiting
to be re-tested: 1 archive. Listed in my MiscUtil directory - LordNet,
InterLord, RIP graphics files: 14 programs. Reclassified Bub-Lord
program as Usable.  Passed testing: 51 files. I've not tried to test
usability of the utilities. Failed testing - complete failures and
non-Local mode usable listed together. 45 programs.

Blankenship, Brad Carson, Mike Ciesiensky, Michael Everett, Gary
Hartzell, Jay Hodges, Mike Hodgson, Duncan Idaho, Paul Koukos, Max
Larivee, Shannon Talley, Janet Terry, and Bryan Turner.  Until his

Gathercole (-- reclassified Former Author), David Hasbrouck, Kenneth

No one else participated during this issue's preparation. My
correspondence with Michael Preslar contained various discussions
regarding LORD v4.07 beta and his other projects. But he never gave
permission for it to be included in a public forum, such as this
newsletter. Other authors have been contacted repeatedly but have
failed to provide anything for the issue, or have failed to write back
altogether.
