       or for any beta from v2.32 through v2.41.

  LS2EDIT Usage Notes:
  =======================================
  1) Obtain copy of the LS2ED10.ZIP archive. Primary distribution
     sources are the Castle Camelot and Camelot LordNews FDN web-sites.

     You may also use the LS2EDIT.* files released in LOVE250.ZIP
     on May 21th, 2006.  Only the DIZ file and documentation file
     for LS2EDIT is changed since LS2EDIT v1.00 was released.

  2) Unzip all files from LS2ED10.ZIP into your IGM directory,
     using overwrite mode.  E.g.:  pkunzip -n ls2ed10.zip

  3) Change into the Love Shack II IGM directory.  Verify that
     you have a current LOVEPLAY.DAT file.  If you don't, then
     you can't use LS2EDIT.EXE.  Why?  You have to HAVE a player
     database file, before you can use the editor on it.

  4) The first time you run the utility, it will ask you for
     the path to the Love Shack II IGM directory.  Type it in,
     and press ENTER to exit the dialog box prompt.  LS2EDIT.CFG
     file will be created in that directory.

  5) Run LS2EDIT.EXE.  If a config file is not in the directory
     you run it from, it will ask you to create on - as noted
     above.  If config file is found, it then checks for existence
     of LOVEPLAY.DAT file.  If one is not found, program will
     give error message and quit working.

     LS2EDIT has only one screen of data.  It shows database
     fields in the order they are listed in the player database
     record structure (usually).  Each value, with one exception,
     may be set to any value that is valid for it.

     The Lord Player Number field is display-only.  That is because
     I don't see any valid reason to allow users to fiddle around
     the LORD Player Number field.

  6) When you exit LS2EDIT, it will resave the LOVEPLAY.DAT
     file so that any changes you made will be accessible to
     the IGM.         End of Notes for LS2EDIT usage.
