Version 1.05
- Added auto maintenance routines. MAINTAIN MAINTAIN is no longer
needed at midnight, but can still be used. Checks are performed
when Inter-LORD is run and when any of the Maintain routines are
run to see if maintenance needs to be done.
- Added the ability for the league coordinator to view all information
for all players in the tournament.
- Added the ability for duplicate players to delete their own account
from the LORD PLAYER.DAT.
- Added MIRACLES. These will occur on a random realm whenever someone
causes an evil deed to occur on a realm. The miracles are a way
of balancing out the effects of plagues, bank bombings etc...and
add some more depth to Inter-LORD
- Added a new character, the Friar. He will let one realm do good
deeds for another realm. This will be helpful in forming alliances.
- Player listings can now be cancelled with a spacebar hit instead
of a double enter.
- Players now have to pay gems if they want to kill someone more than
two levels below them (2 gems for each level under them).
- Added support for BINKLEY to the maintenance routines. See
INTRLORD.DOC for more information.
- Added a check to stop the abuse of healing items. Players may not
use those items any longer, unless their hit points are below the
max hit points.
- Added ability to adjust polling time (in milliseconds) between polls
to the keyboard. This will help SysOps customize the time slicing
on their systems. A value of zero will turn off auto polling and
will cause the program to sit and wait for user input (without
processing background information).
- Added responses from army attacks if the military soldier was
defeated or the remote player ran away. This will help better
inform the BBS that sent the army of results.
- Added responses from monster attacks if the monster won, was
defeated or the remote player ran away. This will help better
inform the player that sent the monster of results.
- Added the ability for players to lose some of their gold when
they run away from a military soldier or monster.
- Increased the rewards sent to the remote system from successful
army attacks.
- Changed the auto reset to be soley controlled by BBS #1's date
system.

- Added Routing Time Reports and Inter-LORD now keeps tracks of
routing times, version numbers and registrations.
- Added MAINTAIN ROUTE to create a report of the new routing time
information.
- Added help files, hints and detailed descriptions about most of
the major commands and actions.
- Added a listing of leagues to join in LEAGUES.DOC. Let us know
about your league if you want it added to the list.
- Streamlines messages to all BBSs (no repeat messages created).

It turns out that LORD reports the caller baud incorrectly under
Major BBS and World Group.

no users on the BBS in the LORD game.

Version 1.03a NOTE: You may delete ALL of the old .ANS, .ASC and .RIP files
- Updated the Documentation to reflect changes. You may wish to
look it over for additions and deletions.
- New format for art. Combined all of the art pictures into archives.

on throughout the network just by reading the LORD daily news file!
Can be configured to just display information pertaining to your
BBS or show everything happening on all BBS's!
- Added a correction for Ctrl-E answerbacks to eliminate problems
- Speeded up the initilization of Inter-LORD and player listings.
(some accuracy in the sorting is sacrificed for the speed gains).
- Included batch files to set read attributes
- MAINTAIN OUTBOUND can now be used during the day to make passing
messages and battle results possible all day long. The player
data will only be sent at midnight
- Added MAINTAIN CLEANUP command line parameter that will cause
Inter-LORD to process incoming files even without attached netmail.
No hubbing will be performed on these files.
NOTE: Very few of the following bugs were reported, but we found them while
doing extensive testing locally.
- Fixed a problem with not processing mail messages correctly.

unpredictable data to show up in player listings. May also have
been the cause of some system incompatabilities.

run away from a battle.

causing some people to gain or lose stats by mistake.
