                      The Gateway - Old Revision Notes.
                    ======================================

Text relocated out of GATEWAY.TXT on June 11, 2005 for purpose
of cleaning up the primary documentation file.

    [REVISIONS - September 2002]

Updated program version references for L.O.R.D. Cavern, LordStat,
The Outlands Tavern, and The Gateway.  Added info for RHPTest, Stones!,
and L.O.R.D. Cavern RHP Set #2.  Updated email contact information.

Thanks to Michael Everett, Gary Hartzell, Gordon Lewicky, Charlie
Wardick, and Paul Koukos for their assistance in beta testing
updated versions in summer 2002.

Special thanks to Charlie Wardick for lessons in learning PASCAL again,
learning how to use Turbo Pascal, and learning LORD programming.

Notations regarding upcoming Lord/32 version of this IGM:
==========================================================

Chris Martino is handling creation of 32-bit IGM versions of my IGMs
and will handle their support until he's taught me how to do so myself.

         32-bit versions, currently in development:
-- Chasware LORD Player Editor, Hiding In The Shadows, Kiteria's
Lord Bank, Love Shack II, The Nice Hag, Ruined Castle, Turgeon's
House, and Violet's Cottage II.

         32-bit versions, will be developed sometime this summer:
All of Jason Brown's IGMs, the RHP Toolkit utilities, and my
Forest Outhouse IGM.  The Pawn Shop, The Gem Trader, Doofus the
Gnome, and The Werewolf II.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Contact Info: Chris Martino.
        Web-site:  http://www.oddware.org/
        Email:     sfyl138@comcast.net

Regardless of when their development is finished, none of the 32-bit
IGMs will be released officially until Michael Preslar and Metropolis
Gameport have officially released Lord/32.  He does not want the
32-bit IGMs released until that time, and Chris Martino and I will
do as he requested.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Linux Support:  I do not know Linux.  I have no idea if anyone
will ever make Lord/x specific versions of my IGMs and utilities.
As of early June 2005, Lord/X beta does not support IGMs.

No support is offered for usage of my LORD programs on a Linux
system since I have no knowledge of that operating system.  If
you are running DOS LORD on a Linux system, and this IGM works
OK in that environment, then I can provide limited support in
that specific situation.
=============================================================


32-bit version of RHPTest:
  Jason Brown is already working on a 32-bit version of RHPTest,
  which is made in C++ programming language.  Its beta is
  available upon request from him or myself, but may not always
  be fully up-to-date or fully functional.

  -- telnet://ztest.myip.us
  Michael Preslar's current BBS address. Test site for LORD/32, etc.

  -- files@lordlegacy.com -- Email address for obtaining betalord.zip,
  b32lord.zip (the Lord/32 beta), betalrd2.zip or betateos.zip files
  from Michael Preslar.  You can only request ONE beta archive per
  email message.  The messages's subject line MUST say either (without
  quotes) "Send me Lord", "Send me Lord/32", "Send me LORD2", or "Send
  me TEOS".  As of early June 2005, there is no Lord/x beta that Michael
  has authorized people to do beta tests of, on their own systems.

  If you wish to beta test Lord/X, you have to do so on Preslar's telnet
  site, using the Internet address listed above.  Web Lord is also in
  development and can be beta tested from the same source.
