purchase.  The Max Visits and Max Potions
Limits are sysop-configurable.
----------------------------------------

This IGM sells 2 Potions for 1 Gem.  Which
gives you DOUBLE the value offered for
Gems by the LORD Inn's Bartender.

when they have 32,000+ Kids.  * Up to
16,000 adoptions per day are allowed.

Charm.  Each potion costs 3 Gems. Horse
cost is 15 Gems.  Fairy cost is 25 Gems.
Each Orphan Child costs 40 Gems.  The

----------------------------------------

There are three IGM Usage Reports, stored

or updated during IGM exit, or when the
sysop uses the GEMTRADE 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.
=======================================

IGM compatibility with versions of LORD
before 3.55 is not guaranteed.

** Fixed glitch in Stats screens where
IGM failed to report valid data on NPC
Marriages on 11/08/05.
--------------------------------------

IGM is now setup to not allow players to
exceed the Daily Potions Trades Limit
while they are trading for Potions in
the main menu, as of Feb. 06, 2006. They
may still go over the Potions Limit when
collecting Potions for Extra Gems paid
for Special Deals Menu items such as
Fairies, Horses, or Orphan Children.
========================================

** This IGM uses a JACKBACK.DAT player
database backup file if it has to restore
a missing JACKPLAY.DAT database file.
If file restoration fails, a new JACKPLAY.DAT
is created with only ONE record in it. If
restoration succeeds, only a little data
will have been lost, and all IGM users'
IGM records will have been salvaged.
    ** Requires GEMTRADE v2.51+ betas.

* IGM users may get up to 10 Skill Use
Points per Day from Sexy Samantha event
which occurs randomly when players buy
a Fairy.  Player gets up to 2 Skill Use
points when the event occurs. (v2.50)
========================================

* JACKEDIT v1.00 Player Database Editor

was released on Dec. 28, 2006.  And v1.20
was released on Dec. 18th, 2007.
========================================

IGM compatibility with versions of LORD
before v3.55 is not guaranteed.
--------------------------------------

The Gem Trader's IGM files were tested
under DOS LORD v4.07, which was released
on Jun. 07, 2006.

They are currently tested using DOS LORD
v4.08 Beta's September 2006 compilation.
----------------------------------------

No compilations of the LORD v4.08 betas
were made available in 2007 to LORD IGM
authors, or to BBS sysops, on a public
basis by Michael Preslar.  As a result I
can NOT guarantee 100% that this IGM will
work with DOS LORD v4.08 whenever it is
publicly released by Metropolis Gameport.
