Last Updated 25 March 2002 Hopefully you found everything correctly. If you have any questions feel free to email me (sorcerer@geocities.com). Remember frogigmbeta@fidotel.com for BETA discussion. Anyone can post to that list once you subscribe (see handy form at the bottom of the page). The Apothecary v1.76 and Grizelda's House v1.76 have been released "gold". Please distribute as you like. They only have one minor bug which is that they won't work the first time run each day. After that it's fine. I will work on this problem when time is available or if enough people start bugging me. I apologize for the confusion that will be caused by using v1.76b and v1.76. APOT176B.ZIP is *before* APOTH176.ZIP. The general public will not be phased, and I know you're all smart enough to handle it. ;) Please do check the ToBeDone files for each game, they are changed. I'm pushing now for a release very shortly of Apothecary and Grizelda's House v1.80. Suburbia will be released when it's "ready." Grizelda's House features the new prompting schemes, Apothecary does not. Both feature the new ITEMS.DAT format and both are now capable of generating that file. Apothecary will always want the ITEMS.DAT in its own directory, Grizelda's House doesn't care. It will either look in the Apothecary directory if installed, or it will create it itself and host it in its own directory. If for some reason the ITEMS.DAT file does not create automatically, or correctly, by the installation program, then please use GENERATE.EXE to create the ITEMS.DAT. To properly use GENERATE.EXE use the command lines GENERATE APOTH or GENERATE GRIZ. This will always create ITEMS.DAT in whatever directory you happen to be running GENERATE. NOTICE: Please test these extensively as I want to get them released shortly (honestly). The only other things I would consider changing is adding more items to Apothecary/Grizelda but that is a *low* priority. I do not plan on adding the new prompting routines to Apothecary at this time (even though they work quite well). The latest LORD Suburbia v2.01 is now available for download. This program is only a beta, please do not share it for general release. Please do, however, have your users test it fully. :) If you want a registration code for it, just drop me a line. It would help to test a few things as the game unregistered to make sure those routines still work, even though they may be gone by the next public release (as I think I'll set up a website mechanism to know who's involved, etc). Next up is running through the Apothecary and Grizelda's House code just like I did the Suburbia code to get those beta versions online. Then I start changing features/adding options and writing the strategy guides.
