Extended info:
-----------------------------------------
This is a seasonal IGM that offers
Valentine's Day and Christmas events,
where there is peace throughout the
Realm, and even the Red Dragon takes
part in handing out presents.

Allows 1-5 Visits per day.  During each
visit, player can run an event.  There
are two so far: Valentine's Day and
Merry Christmas.  Each event can be
used either up to five times per visit;
or a maximum of five times per day.

Players are allowed to open 1 Valentine
Heart per Event use, and 1 Stocking per
Event use.

Added third usage report 12/21/07 to cover
Skill Use Points, Hearts Opened today
counter, and Stockings Opened Today counter.
=======================================

If a Stocking or Valentine is opened,
and player does not get anything, that's
just their bad luck.  Later, I may allow
"Second Chance" for such situations.
----------------------------------------

There are three IGM Usage Reports, stored
in the VALUSAGE.TXT file. It is created
or updated during IGM exit, or when user
or sysop uses VALENTIN 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.
--------------------------------------

** Players stats are protected between
visits by the IGM's VALBACK.DAT player
database restoration backup file.
========================================

** 02/12/07. Added random reward events
that run at end of each Valentine or
Christmas event.  One grants ONE Skill
Point. The other grants ONE Skill Use
Point.  Players can only receive 4 Skill
points per day;  and only 10 Skill Use
Points per Day can be received.
========================================

The IGM's Player Database Editor is
named VALEDIT.EXE.
========================================

LORD Holidays' IGM files are developed
and tested using DOS LORD v4.08 Beta's
September 2006 compilation.  2007 beta
compilations were never made available
to the public.
