Good. Another one that I can add to the list :)

In truth, it should run just fine on any system that can run elf binaries.

I'd love to know how it works in a text browser. 

Got an email this past Monday morning from a 41 year old blind man. Said that
he was a huge fan of Lord, and that he was glad to see me working on weblord.
I was glad to hear that the web version plays nicely with screen readers.
He's even got his voice recognition system setup so that the javascript
hotkeys work for him too.. Imagine, him sitting there _saying_ "L", "A", "A",
"A" etc :)

Issues with multiplayer? Nopers. Shouldnt be.

For you pascal coders, heres how I do it.. Note that my telnet term wont let
me do a close fancy bracket for some reason, so Im using a parenthesis
instead.

var ioerror,count:integer

....
filemode := ReadWriteShareDenyAll;
assign(filehandle,'file.dat');
count := 0;
repeat
  inc(count);
  {$I-)reset(filehandle);{$I)
  ioerror := ioresult;
  if ioerror = 5 then delay(5);
until (ioerror=0) or (count>100);
if ioerror<>0 then
begin
  writeln('Cant open FILE.DAT! Halting!');
  halt(ioerror);
end;

Soo.. Theres shouldnt be any issues.
