The bank is managed by Lady Janice, a NPC
character dedicated in memory of my friend
Janice Stout, who died in mid-May 2007.

IGM usage is allowed until player runs
out of allowed Visits.  Includes a fully
functional Gold/Gems Treasury (Bank).  For
full usage as a normal IGM by BBS sysops.

There are two IGM Usage Reports, stored

or updated during IGM exit, or when
sysop uses the SKELETON REPORT command.
=======================================

** This IGM checks for Over-Range or
Negative LORD Stats at IGM Entry, and at
IGM Exit.  All of LORD's numeric stats
are covered since LORD will crash if it
encounters over-range values, and no one
wants to have negative stats.
=======================================

Players' current Treasury Gold and Treasury
Gems balances are backed up at the end of
the IGM entry sequence.  If either account
goes negative, the IGM will restore it to
the balances stored in the 2 backup variables
during IGM exit sequence.  ** 05/15/2008.

IGM compatibility with versions of LORD

** Players stats are protected between
visits by the IGM's SKELBACK.DAT player
database restoration backup file.
