	slay the dragon."

	"You mean this is totally to help the warrior!?!?"

	"Nada"

	"Nothing? No shit?"

	"Yea..  DCLord is $5.. this is free."

	"You are so cool!  Thanks dude!"

	"Yea.. I know..."

-= Introduction

	I wanted something new for my LORD game.  Seth had released the
player file structure to the public (Thanks Seth!), so I though I should 
do something instead of waiting for someone to make a new addon.  
I have already made DCLord.. and I wanted to do something that would
be free..  so I thought I'd make this.

	The Wise One sits atop his mountain and depending on how he feels
at the time, he will choose to help the warrior on his quest, or deny the
warriors plea for help.

	Everything the Wise One gives is configurable; the only thing that 
I may be missing is level-by-level configurations as to how much the Wise One 
will give per level.


-= Setting up WISEONE for Different BBS Systems

	The Setup is easy.. just run the configuration program, CBCC.EXE
and it will set up WISEONE for you.  All you need to do is tell it
where your LORD files are and setup basic "what to give" values.. SIMPLE!

#####[The following was in the 1995 docs.. maybe of some use, may not be]#####
I would also suggesting using a disk cache of some sorts..  
SmartDrive works..

SMARTDRV.EXE 1000

	That gives SmartDrive a meg to work with..  I use it, so should you!
