- Disclaimer
- ----------
- Use this software at your own risk! I am in no way to be held responsible

- works (to the best of my knowledge) and doesn't appear to have any
- bugs. Please read the rest of this DOC before installation.

-
- Installation Instructions
- -------------------------
- IMPORTANT !!! This program only works for LORD version 3.55 and better
- (hopefully). If you are running a previous version of LORD then you
- best upgrade very soon. Also make sure that you are in the same directory
- as the IGM when you run the setup program.
-
-
- 1. Unzip File : MSDRM-16.ZIP into any directory.
-
- ------------> MSDRM.EXE : Main Program
- MSDRM.ANS : Intro & Setup ANSI
- MSDRM.DOC : well ..
- FILE_ID.DIZ : even more well ..
-
- Files created by program ---> * MSDRM.DAT : Player info
- * MSDRM.CFG : IGM configuration
-
-
- 2. Run MSDRM.EXE (there is no separate setup program)
-
-
- SPECIAL NOTE : This IGM installs and uninstalls itself every day into
- the 3rdParty.Dat file to simulate the fairies moving around through
- the forest. Thus installing the IGM installs it ONLY to the Maint.Bat
- file. The chances of the IGM being installed in the Other Places,
- depends on the variable setting : Random Appearance : 1 in ? (whatever).
-
- If you edit the 3rdparty.Dat file manually and try to install the IGM
- or change its name, it won't be able to uninstall and you will find the
- IGM duplicated in your Other Places listing.

- About the Game
- --------------
- 1. If you have anything to say about this IGM, please leave me a message
- in the Fidonet (Land of the Red Dragon Info) mail echo. I'll be happy
- to answer any (most anyway) questions you might have, and possible
- changes for future releases.
-
- 2. Installation is simple, and the IGM may easily be uninstalled.
-
- 3. The configuretion module contains an IGM usage log, so that you can keep
- track of its popularity.
-
- 4. This IGM is small and compact : it may be run from ANY DIRECTORY, and
- does not read any external dropfile. Less than 200 lines of DOCS !!
-
- 5. Inactivity Timeout and BBS Time left are operational (Time written
- back to the LORD INFO.* file).
-
- 6. Stat gains are MINIMAL, and should not unduly affect the game. If you
- choose to register, these gains may be selected from a list of options.
-
- 7. Special features : Sex changes, get a horse or fairy, gain Mystical skill
- points, and converse with the fairies (an option that has become quite
- rare since the release of Lord 3.55).
- Press [V] to View stats, from any screen.
-
- 8. Blinking colours are supported.
-
- 9. Although entry is unlimited, each option is available only once per day,
- so players shouldn't spend more that about 2 minutes in the IGM.
-
- 10. Hidden command : Can you find the Woodland King !?
- Clue : "The secret is the way of the play."
