1.0  DISCLAIMER:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-               

This is a BBS game written as a hobby.  The only warranty given is
that the program will take up a small amount of disk space on your
computer's hard drive, and will run under all versions of Legend of
the Red Dragon that support IGMs.

Currently, *NO* support is available for any of my LORD programs
for usage under LORD for Linux (LORD/X) or LORD for Windows
(LORD/32).  As of mid-February 2005, both are in beta processing,
and neither one supports IGMs in any way.
===========================================================

NO OTHER WARRANTY IS HEREBY EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR SUGGESTED.
USE OF THIS PROGRAM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

KITERIA'S LORD BANK IS A *FREEWARE* 'IN GAME MODULE' (IGM) FOR LEGEND OF
THE RED DRAGON (LORD).

  LORD (Legend of the Red Dragon) is a multi-player battle game
  created for Bulletin Board Systems (BBS).

	  (c) Copyright 1992-1997 Robinson Technologies
	  (c) Copyright 1998,1999 (2000-2005) Metropolis, Inc.
	  Created by Seth Robinson.  Developed by Michael Preslar.
	  All rights reserved.

This IGM is fully tested under LORD v3.55 through v4.07 beta
(early September 2004 compilation).  Full IGM support is offered
only for DOS LORD usage, as of mid-February 2005.
============================================================


2.0  INTRODUCTION:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
  These are the goals for this IGM - most of which have been fulfilled.

  1) Provide LORD Players with an IGM, which is fully supported by
  an active LORD author, that protects the integrity of their bank
  accounts on a daily basis.  DONE.

  * No one under any circumstance can steal another player's gold
  or gems.  Killing the Red Dragon will not affect your IGM accounts
  like it does in LORD.

  * The player receives 10% interest on their Bank Gold on days
  when they actually use the igm.  No igm usage during a day means
  that you do NOT get any interest.  There is NO interest on Gems
  that you keep in the IGM Gems Bank.

  * The IGM does not allow Gems in Bank to exceed 1 Million Gems.
  I seriously doubt any user will ever get anywhere close to that
  amount.  Gems Deposits and Gems Withdrawals are also subject to
  the 1 Million gems limit.

  Users are allowed to withdraw up to 32,500 Gems per IGM session,
  since LORD tolerates that amount in normal game play.  However,
  during LORD maintenance, any LORD stat that exceeds 32,00 will
  be reduced to 32,000 by LORD automatically.
  ==============================================================

  ** NOT DONE YET.  No timetable **
  (2) Design and test code to allow one player to transfer Gold, like
  they can in the LORD Bank, to another player who has a IGM Gold
  account.

  (3) Then design and test code that allows one player to transfer
  Gems from their IGM bank account to another player's IGM Gems Bank
  account.

  Possibly limit number of times per day a player can do each kind
  of transfer if that ever seems to be warranted.

  IF feasible, allow players to bank other LORD stats such as
  Skill Usage Points or Forest Fights.

  ==============================================================
  Usage limits:

  1) My IGMs all honor Seth Robinson's request that IGM authors honor
  the boundaries he set up for each LORD stat. Those include not raising
  Gold beyond Two Billion.

  During work on the second development cycle, I decided that since LORD
  v4.07 beta allows you to play with up to 32,767 Gems, without any
  obvious problems, that I would allow players to withdraw Gems up to
  32,500.

  Some of my other IGMs are set to automatically reduce over-range Gems
  down to 32,000, since LORD does not do so automatically when you return
  from an IGM.  It does do that during first visit of the day processing.

  The change in Gems handling was instituted on Jan. 25, 2005.

  2) IGM uses are limited to 50 visits per day.  During IGM
  configuration, the end-user/sysop may use a smaller Visits/Day
  setting if they wish to do so.  Use KITBANK INSTALL to do
  this during IGM installation, or KITBANK CONFIG to just change
  the Max Visits/Day setting.

  As of Jan. 24, 2005, the IGM uses/day limit has been increased
  from 10 to 50 visits/day, in response to request by Daryl Stout.
  =============================================================


  Future IGM development plans - Recap of some info listed previously:
  ----------------------------
  1) Allow players to transfer Gold from their IGM bank account
  to another player's IGM bank account.  Once that is coded
  and working, I will do the same with Gems.

  2) I will be considering setting the IGM up to cover other
  LORD stats such as Skill Use Points or Forest Fights.

  The transfers will be done entirely inside the IGM.  Since
  that would be the easiest way to handle the process.  A player
  would only be able to do a bank transfer to someone who has
  either Gold or Gems on account in the IGM.

  The person who is sent Gold/Gems would be sent in-LORD mail to
  notify them about the deposit(s) to their Gold/Gems accounts.

  Possibly, I may allow players to send Gold/Gems transfers
  anonymously, in which case the recipient will only be told
  that they received a transfer and how much Gold/Gems they
  were given by the anonymous benefactor.

  No timetable set for this work, other than later this year.
  ==========================================================


  Brief IGM usage summary.  The Gem Trader, Peddler Jack, has
  a very sexy, young and beautiful daughter.  Her beauty rivals
  that, nearly, of Lady Violet at the LORD Inn.  She is the
  banker.  Your only relationship with her is banking activity.
  At least at the current time.

  Note: As of Feb. 14, 2005, users of the LADY version of The
  Gem Trader, who need healing, get a special encounter with
  Samantha as they are leaving her father's camp.  Requires
  usage of The Gem Trader script, version 1.30.  Eventually
  this IGM will allow further interaction with Samantha by
  customers, perhaps including getting Laid by her.
  ===============================================

  No one is allowed to rob this bank.  You may do deposits and
  withdrawals to the LORD gold stats, Gold in Hand and Gold in
  Bank.  You may also do deposits and withdrawals to your IGM
  Gold Bank account.  There is no limits on how many times a
  day you can do deposits and withdrawals, other than those that
  apply to the Gold in Hand and Gold in Bank LORD stats.

  The IGM will not allow a transaction that would cause either
  of the LORD Gold stats to exceed Two Billion.  Users are allowed,
  assuming the sysop/end-user uses the maximum Visits/Day setting,
  to use the IGM up to 50 times each day, as of January 24, 2005.

  A short summary of Bank accounts status is available at IGM
  entry, from the IGM's main menu.  It shows how much you have
  on account as to Gold and Gems, and how much Interest, if any,
  you received for the current day.  Interest is paid ONLY on
  days that you actually use the IGM, and is paid only ONCE a day.

  All player's bank activity is shown at igm exit to the current
  player, so everyone will know who has been using the IGM. It
  is also recorded in the IGM Usage reports disk file, which can
  only be viewed by the sysop/end-user. (See KITBANK REPORT.)
  ===========================================================


  Configuration:  If igm has not been installed yet, you must
  start IGM usage by executing KITBANK INSTALL.  Otherwise, you
  may change the Sysop Handle info by using KITBANK CONFIG. No
  other fields are change-able via that command at this time.
  ---------------------------------------------

  Save_Player_Data Summary Report:  {Added 02/05/05}
  --------------------------------
  In normal IGM maintenance, someone will have used the IGM on a
  previous day and left Gold and/or Gems on deposit.  The IGM
  reads each player record from the old database and creates
  an updated database using player records that meet one of
  the following conditions.  It also computes and processes
  the amount of Gold Interest the INCOMING, CURRENT player
  is entitled to, if they have Gold on account.

  1) A new record is written if the current player is not in
  the old database.  2) The player records for all players
  that are in the old database with Gold and/or Gems on account
  are written to the new player database file.

  At the end of the database recreation process, the IGM will
  show a short summary of how many player records were processed
  from the old database, and how many records were written to
  the new database file. Effective Feb. 05, 2005.
  ==================================================================


  Update from pre-v1.00 Beta or from Version 1.00:
  ================================================
  1) Obtain KLBANK12.ZIP either from me via Email, or from one
  of my primary distribution sources.  Those are as follows:

  (a) the LordApps directory via my LordApps Page, LORD IGMs Page,
      and Revamped Trentsoft IGMs Page, which are all parts of
      the Castle Camelot site.
  (b) The LORD IGMs Page on my Kiteria's Korner! web-site.
  (c) The LORD Archives files area of the Fidotel BBS.
  (d) The NightfallGames.com server's IGMs directory.
  (e) The Castle Camelot LordNews FDN site (and mirror sites
      that various BBS's have set up of the LordNews FDN.)
  (f) The LORD IGMs Project on Lloyd Hannesson's web-site.
  --------------------------------------------------------

  This are the PRIMARY download links:

  http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/Lordapps/klbank12.zip

  OR http://www.filegate.net/camelot/lordfile/klbank12.zip
  ===========================================================


  2) Unzip all files from KLBANK12.zip into your KitBank IGM
  Directory, using overwrite with new files mode.  If you use
  PKUNZIP or WZZIP's command-line utility, use the -N parameter,
  like this:

  pkunzip -n KLBANK12

  wzunzip -n KLBANK12

  -- Run either command from directory you will be using the IGM from.


  3) Version 1.20 does not contain any changes in the player database
  structure, so no one needs to deal with player database file glitches.

  If you do encounter any RunTime Error messages, let me know, and I'll
  give you more detailed assistance via email. That concludes the
  Update Notes section.
  ============================================================


  Installation:

  * Obtain copy of KLBank12.zip from me via email, or download
	 it from one of several download source sites:

  http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/LordApps/klbank12.zip
  ---------------------------------------------------------


  1) Unzip KLBank12.zip's files into an IGM sub-directory under
  your LORD game. I suggest using KitBank for directory name.

  Always use over-write mode so that you will get the most up-to-date
  files from the distribution (or beta) archive.


  2) At your DOS Prompt, type KITBANK INSTALL and press the ENTER
  key.  That will execute the IGM's installation module.  Follow
  the on-screen dialog box prompts and answer each one.

  During installation process, you are asked in dialog boxes, to
  specify the following data fields.

  * Line 1 is Sysop Name:  This is your FIRST and LAST names.
  * Line 2 is BBS/Web-Site Name.  If you don't have a BBS or
	 web-site, just pick a suitable name.
  * Line 3 is the directory path to where your LORD game is.
  * Line 4 is the directory path to where you are installing the IGM.
	 This is where LORD will look when it is told to execute the IGM.
  * Line 5 is your Sysop Handle.  This is the name of your primary
	 LORD character.
  * Line 6 is Max Visits/Day.  The IGM will not allow uses beyond
	 50 visits each day, under any circumstance.

  Data requirements.  You may NOT use LORD color codes with any
  of the data fields.  The IGM will automatically upper-case the
  Lord Path and IGM Path lines.  In some cases, the IGM needs to
  know who the Sysop User is, and it uses the Sysop Handle field
  for that purpose.  Sysop Handle may not exceed 20 spaces in length.

  Max Visits/Day must be an integer number.

  Basically, regarding Sysop Name and BBS Name, they will look best
  when displayed on-screen during IGM usage, if you keep them at or
  below 40 spaces in length.

  This is a BBS door game, so it uses standard BBS terminology.

  -------------------------
  You are asked whether you want to include version number data
  in the IGM entry lines that will be written to LORD's 3rdparty.dat
  file - which is more fully explained in another section of this file.

  The prompt asks you to choose YES or NO.  Pressing the ENTER key
  automatically is a YES response.  You can use a computer mouse to
  select YES or NO as well.  The IGM itself, in LORD play, does not
  interact in any way with a mouse.

  -------------------------
  Once installation is completed, if you use the LordMenu utility,
  remember to update its data files.  Visually verify your
  3rdparty.dat file just to be sure it is updated properly as well.

  Then start playing the IGM when you start Lord the next time.
  ==============================================================


  Three other distribution sources for this IGM are:

  * http://www.filegate.net/camelot/lordfile/klbank10.zip

  * http://www.nightfallgames.com/files - See the LORD IGMs
	 directory.

  * Lloyd Hannesson's Tech'N Software site's LORD IGMs database
	 also contains version 1.00.
		 http://www.dasme.org/techn/lord1igm.php

	 Note: Older browsers such as Netscape 4.80 do not always
	 work good with PHP-based web-sites.  So you are advised
	 to use Netscape v7.20 or Mozilla FireFox v1.00 instead
	 with those PHP-based sites.
  --------------------------------------------------------

  IGM Usage Reports:  Providing that you have a BankPlay.dat
  file, which is created/updated with each IGM usage, you can
  run KITBANK REPORT to create or update the Bank-use.txt usage
  report disk file.  There are two usage reports.

  The first report shows each user's LORD Name, Gold Deposits,
  Gold Withdrawals, IGM Gold Bank balance, and # of Visits made.
  The second report shows player's Lord Name, Gold Interest, Gems
  Deposits, and Gems Withdrawals, if any, that the listed players
  received during the current day's IGM usages.

  The Usage reports are automatically updated during IGM exit
  process for every user, and are displayed on-screen for all
  users during IGM exit process.


  Simple Configuration updates:
  -----------------------------
  Run KITBANK CONFIG, and the program will let you change
  the Sysop Handle and Max Visits/Day settings.


  ---------------------------------------------
  Un-Installation:  Run KITBANK REMOVE, and follow all on-screen
  commands.  IGM statements will be removed from 3rdparty.dat file,
  and an IGM Removal notice is written to LORD's lognow.txt file.

  Deletion of some IGM data files is left up to the user to do.

  Since I have no way of knowing who is un-installing the IGM, and
  then re-installing it, the IGM does not automatically delete all
  of the data files that it uses.
  ===========================================================


3.0  FILES:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The following files are included within the KITERIA'S LORD BANK
archive:

FILE_ID.DIZ  - Description file (KitBank.diz)
KitBank.DIZ - backup copy of archive identifier for BBS usage.
KitBank EXE - KITERIA'S LORD BANK IGM.  Setup is included inside.
KitBank TXT - Gem Trader docs - this file.

CCL-APPS.TXT - Info on all of my LORD Programming projects.

* KitBank.dat - IGM Configuration file.  Contains Lord Path,
                IGM Path, Sysop Name and Handle, BBS Name.

* BankTime.dat - Used to keep track of change in Day, Month or
         Year, so IGM knows internally when to reset its data
         files for a new day's game usage. (Binary file)

* BankPlay.dat - IGM Player Database.  Binary file.  Tracks all
         activity on daily basis of the IGM's users.  Even if a
         player has not used the igm that day, they will have a
         database record if they have Gold/Gems on account.

* Bank-Use.TXT - IGM Usage Reports disk file.  Shows activity by
         players for current day.  Usage report #1 displays Lord
         Name, Deposits and Withdrawals to Gold Bank account, Bank
         Gold balance, and Visits counter data.  Usage report #2
         shows Gems Deposits and Withdrawals, Bank Gems balance,
         and Gold Interest data.

         File is created/updated automatically with each IGM use
         in LORD, -- provided IGM does not terminate due to user
         inactivity -- or when end-user/sysop uses the KITBANK
         REPORT command.
====================================================================


4.0  3rdparty.dat IGM entry Notes:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Minus LORD color codes, which I don't always use myself, this is
what the IGM command lines in 3rdparty.dat should look like.
Each person installs IGMs their own way, so your directory path
will usually be different:

C:\INTERNET\LORD\KITBANK\KITBANK.EXE /N* /GC:\INTERNET\LORD
Kiteria's LORD Bank v1.20    -- WITHOUT color codes

'`!Kiteria''s LORD Bank `0v1.20'; -- WITH default color codes.

(The actual description entry in 3rdparty.dat will contain
LORD color codes.  I used to not like using them at all for
awhile, then I got used to them.  But I tend to change how
they look from time to time.  The codes can be changed to
your own preference.  That is, you can change them in 3rdparty.dat.)

You can specify during IGM Installation whether the IGM Name
line includes the version data, or omits it.


LORD Color Codes Chart: Just in case anyone is interested.
======================

`1 ; Dark Blue     `2 ; Dark Green     `3 ; Dark Cyan
`4 ; Magenta       `5 ; Dark Violet    `6 ; Brown
`7 ; Lt. Grey      `8 ; Dark Grey      `9 ; Light Blue
`0 ; Lt. Green     `! ; Lt. Cyan       `@ ; Lt. Magenta
`# ; Lt. Violet    `$ ; Yellow         `% ; White

Advisory note: Keep in mind that LORD IGMs display data against
a black background.  Use dark colors with caution, since user
will possibly be unable to read them on-screen. "Lt." stands
for Light.  Magenta is a dark Red color.  Lt. Magenta can be
thought of as a Bright Red color.


----------------------------------------------------------
4.5   IGM Usage Notes:
------------------
While using this IGM, you MAY not rename any of the program or
data files.  Doing so can cause the program to crash or
otherwise not work properly.

KITBank.exe, BankPlay.dat, BankTime.dat - they may NOT
be tampered with in any way, or the program will not work.

I don't test programs using write-protected files, but the
IGM WILL crash if you try to run it with any of its data
files write-protected.  So DO NOT do that!

KitBank.dat: Under NO circumstance may you use LORD color
codes in this file.  File can be edited manually if you
need to change something.  It is best to make changes via
the KITBANK INSTALL or KITBANK CONFIG commands.

BANK-USE.TXT:  Also should not EVER contain LORD color codes.
I've never found a way to place color codes in a text file
and have them get translated into actual colors.

I reserve the right to not provide technical support to
anyone who admits to violating the IGM usage directions.
===============================================================


Special Privileges?:  There are none.  The IGM does not care if
you have a Horse, Fairy, or if you are Single or Married.  It
also does not care if you are a Death Knight, Magician, or Thief.

There are some IGMs that have special code that executes when you
are the "right" skill class, but this is not one of that type.

One example:  The Love Shack II has additional adventures in the
Massage Parlor that only work if you are a Thief.

At some distant date, perhaps the player will be allowed to try
to seduce Samantha.  I have not formed any ideas yet on that.
==========================================================


LORDMenu information:  To acquire LORDMenu v1.30 LORD utility,
contact me via Email.  Or contact Lloyd Hannesson at
dasme@dasme.org, who is the program's author.  The program may
also be downloaded via web browser from his web-site.

			http://www.dasme.org/techn/index.php

It is also available from various other sources on the Internet,
such as my Camelot LordNews FDN site (official Fidonet distribution
site), located at: http://www.filegate.net/camelot/. See the
the Lordfile directory.  Second source is the Nightfall Games
server, located at http://www.nightfallgames/files/. Lordmenu is
stored in the LORD Utilities section there.  Primary distribution
source is the author's personal web-site.

Specific URL:  http://www.dasme.org/techn/files/lrdmnu13.zip

LORDMenu was created by Robert Fogt, and turned over through
	 me to Lloyd in early 2002.  Who provides all support for it.
===============================================================


REQUIREMENTS:
  1. Any version of LORD that supports IGMs.   Testing was done
	  with versions 3.55 through v4.07 beta.

  2. DOS 6.x or later versions.  Probably works with DOS v3.xx forward
	  as well, but I can't say for sure.

  3. IGM is usable whether LORD is registered or not.

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


TESTING:
--------
    KITERIA'S LORD BANK LORD IGM is tested under LORD v4.07 beta
    by myself, and with earlier LORD versions by various friends.

    Testing has been done using all versions of Microsoft Windows,
    starting with Windows 95, and ending with Windows XP, using
    current v4.0x versions of Legend of the Red Dragon.

    All of my personal IGM testing since July 2004 has been
    entirely done with Microsoft Windows XP.

Regarding betas of LORD IGMs and Utilities, keep in mind that
sometimes they are not always stable.  Various features may be
in flux, and not fully tested.  If you have questions, you
should contact me.
======================================================================


6.0  FEATURES:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
	 1) You may view your LORD stats from various IGM section menus.

	 2) A quick summary is provided at IGM entry of your bank accounts.

	 3) You can deposit/withdraw Gold between LORD and the IGM.
            Subject to the limits that Gold fields can not exceed Two Billion.

	 4) You can deposit/withdraw Gems between LORD and the IGM.
		 Subject to IGM's limit of 1 Million gems in the IGM Gems account,
            and LORD's limit of 32,767 Gems in Hand.  The latter amount is
            a Pascal limit.  The actual IGM uses a limit for Gems Withdrawals
            of 32,500, and 32,000 for Gems Deposits.

	 5) The end-user/sysop can view a summary of IGM activity off-line,
            outside of LORD IGM play, by reading the BANK-USE.TXT data file.

            Everyone gets to view the on-screen IGM Usage Reports as they
            are leaving the IGM to return to LORD.  There are two report
            screens which cover all Gold and Gems banking activities.

            -----------------------------------------------------------
            Whenever, further IGM functions get developed, there will most
            likely be a third Usage Report designed to cover data on Gold
            Transfers, Gems Transfers, and other new database variables.

	 6) The first player of the day will have a short wait during IGM
            entry while the IGM processes the previous day's player database,
            determines who has Gold or Gems on account, and creates a new
            player database.  Then the IGM does normal maintenance work.

	 7) IGM usage is limited to 50 times per day maximum.  If the sysop
            sets the IGM up to use a value of 10, then the IGM won't work
            beyond your tenth visit that game day.

	 8) As of Jan. 24, 2005, the IGM will automatically fix any
            negative LORD stats that you enter it with.  IGM will
            notify user of any stats fixes that are made on-screen.

	 9) 01/25/05: IGM update notes:
            a) The Usage reports now use Commas in the disk file report
            for the Gold amounts in Report #1, and for the Gems and Gold
            Interest amounts in Report #2.

            b) Trying to deposit Gold or Gems, when you have none, now
            produces a short message and terminates the deposit request.

            c) Since Lord 4.07 beta, and I think earlier versions of LORD,
            tolerate your having over 32,000 Gems, I've reconfigured the
            IGM to allow Gems withdrawals of up to 32,500 gems per IGM visit.

7.0  SPECIAL THANKS TO:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Gordon Lewicky  - He taught me most of what I know about LADY Script
         programming, and has done diagnostic work on all of
         my complex LADY Scripts when they had glitches.

Gary Hartzell   - For giving me feedback, support, and friendship.
         And especially for encouraging me to become an LORD
         IGMs author when I was considering it in May 2002.

Jason Brown     - For entrusting me with his LORD IGMs and utilities
         as their co-author, maintainer, and updater.
         Also for several long years of LORD friendship.

Charlie Wardick - My primary programming teacher.  For over a year
         of training in how to write LADY scripts in a
         logical manner, and then in relearning Pascal
         language and usage of Turbo/Borland Pascal.

Chris MacPherson, Kenneth Padgett - Chris, for turning over his
         Pawn Shop IGM to me.  Kenneth, for turning over
         his Hiding In the Shadows igm to me.

Stephen Gibbs - For trustworthy assistance in testing this IGM,
         and debugging BBS usage glitches in the Hiding in
         the Shadows IGM for me and Kenneth. Previously has
         provided great assistance in pointing out problems
         in my Gem Trader IGM as well in prior years.

And to all of my other friends who've gone through my evolution
as a LORD games programmer since February 2002, by testing my new
Lady scripts, and LORD IGM/utility beta compilations, over those
many months.  Oh yeah, and most of all, for putting up with my
tendency to write occasionally LONG email messages to them <G>.
==================================================================

Beta Testers:  Gordon Lewicky, Michael Everett, Paul Koukos, Joe
         Kinjin, Rob McGee, Charlie Wardick, Daryl Stout,
         Marty Blankenship, and a few others here and there.

8.0  DEDICATIONS:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This IGM was specifically created for dedication to my old friend
Suzanne Franklin, whose Lord nickname is Kiteria.  I thought it
was time that she had an IGM named after her.

Otherwise the IGM is dedicated to all of my close LORD friends.

11.0  SUMMARY
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Your comments, questions, suggestions are welcome and appreciated.  I'd
like to know that people are actually using my IGM. :)  I've put a lot
of work into it and I hope it is appreciated.
	 -Donald Glenn Tidmore

Postal contact info.  You can send snail mail to me at:
1111 Berenice Street, Tuscumbia, AL 35674-3503

If outside the United States, add "United States of America"
or "USA" to the address.  The state name is Alabama if you
wish to spell it out.

I lost interest in ICQ in 2004, and have not used it in several
months. So I have removed my ICQ contact information from this file.

======================================================================

IGM Crashes:  If you experience a crash while using the IGM,
please send me a capture log of your BBS session which most
comm programs and Telnet clients are able to generate.  Please
send it in a .zip file archive, made using Winzip, PKzip or some
other ZIP-compatible utility.  Send JPG snapshots of IGM crash
details, and/or the zipped up data files, to one of my email
addresses.

Primary addresses, checked daily:  gtidmore@hiwaay.net,
ktidmore@hiwaay.net.  Secondary address, checked daily:
donald.tidmore@fidotel.com.  Primary address, checked
occasionally, used mostly for newsletters and non-Lord interests
is donald.tidmore@usa.net.

Copies of your LORD games play*.dat files, lognow.txt/logold.txt
files, and the LORD error.log file may also be of use to me in
finding source of any IGM crashes.  So consider zipping those up
also, and sending them to me.

Since I do not operate a BBS, I can not personally check on
BBS usage issues, but I have a few Lord friends who will do that
for me, such as Stephen Gibbs and Daryl Stout.

I hope that anyone using this IGM finds it to be of value to
you, and to your BBS users, if applicable.  Donald.
