are fully functional.

-- Completely rewritten events: Cloaked
Figure, Bank Gold Transfers, Weapons and
Armor Shops, Beauty Parlor, The Mines,
Stats screen, List Other Players, Witch
Doctor, and the Village Idiot.

-- The Jester event did not work, and was
eliminated.  I may be able to restore it
at a later date.

-- All cheat codes and related events
have been removed from the IGM.  Some
of those events may be re-incorporated
back into the IGM at a later date.

-- IGM uses new IGM entry/exit sequences
and will soon have IGM Usage Reports
that the end-user/sysop can monitor for
IGM usage data.

-- IGM has new config file layout, and
now uses a HUT2.CFG configuration file.
Other new files are HUTTIME.DAT, HUTPLAY.DAT,
HUTBACK.DAT, VH-USAGE.TXT, and HUT2EDIT.CFG.
----------------------------------------

-- 02/20/06: Updated IGM to use two new
Config values -- Max Visits/Day Limit
and Max Wishes/Day Limit.  Sysops may
set either limit between 1 and 10.

Usage of HUTDORK.DAT, HUTDORK.USE,
HUTMINE.DAT and HUTJEST.DAT files by the
IGM has been discontinued permanently.

database VARs for Village Idiot Wishes
