UPCOMING EVENTS
------
    *************LOOK OUT FOR A NEW PROGRAM DATA FILE EDITOR SOON****
      Lord Life runs on a series of program data files.  It uses it's
    own language.  Soon I will be creating a program that will allow
    one to create program data files, THESE ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL IGMs.
    The editer will be somewhat like a visual HTML editor.  Don't worry if
    you have never even used a visual HTML editor...  This will be
    self explanitory.  ANYONE with a good idea should be able to create
    an IGM in minutes with this program!

    LOOK FOR:     -=-=-
	       MKIGM10A.ZIP      
		  -=-=-
    COMING SOON!
------
      Also look out for some vastly improved versions of lord life over the
    summer.  It is going to get better.  It's going to get faster.  There
    will be more random events.  There will be more surprises.  There
    will be alot more ansi, and hopefully some rip...  Oh did I mention
    that it will be better.
      DON'T MISS THE UPCOMING NEW VERSIONS!!!!

INTRODUCTION
------------------
      Congradulations on picking up lord life.  I hope it does everything you
    could ever ask an IGM to to, and I hope it works with your bbs
    system!

    Note:  This version of Lord Life is still being enhanced...
      I have taken precautions to make this version bug free...
      It SHOULD be free of errors but may not be.  NO WARRANTIES are 
      given for this product...A registration form is included...
      see lifereg.txt...
      Lord life should be fully multi-node compatable.  It uses strict
      file locking routines.

    Note:Life should be immediatly compatable with whatever lord is.  
	 Life uses the path to drop file provided by lord's node.1 file,
	 if you allow it...otherwise it only uses info.1...

1.0  INSTALLATION    <------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Make sure life goes into a seperate directory from lord.
  
  Be sure you unzipped the file: LIFE.ZIP 
     -this file is contained inside the LIFE????.ZIP
  
  Simply run:  lifecfg.exe

	     -Then it should detect that you have not installed
	     then it will let you install.  Once your done (Q)uit
	     the installer and that's it!

	  -Give it the paths..with a backslash at the end as it
	  asks for...answer a couple other quick questions
	  and thats it!...It will then be installed.
	  Note: If you have already placed it in the 3rdparty.def
	    from an earlier version hit 'N' for no when it asks
	    if it should add itself to the 3rdparty.dat

NEW FEATURES OF LIFECFG.EXE!!

  Now you can register lord life much easier!
If you recieve your registration by email or thru a message on your
bbs, simply save that message or capture it to a TEXT file.  Then
you can run LIFECFG.EXE select (R)egister from a reg'd ver or text file,
then select (F)rom text file, then tell it the file name and tah da!
  Or if you have another copy of life already reg'd in your name you
can select (U)se another reg'd copy, and it will reg it based on the
