Hi Donald...

DT>Ken, Have you given any thought to making Lord/32 versions of any of your ig
  > Would be nice to have one at least of Sherwood Forest.  You'll have to use 
  >Manndoor toolkit to make the igm.  I've not figured out yet if it is possibl
  >to use Angel toolkit to make an Lord/32 igm.  As to using either DDPLus or
  >DDIGM, you'd have to get help from Michael Preslar since he is the only one 
  >will know how to make the old tool-kits work in a Lord/32 door game.

DT>I can however share code with you, or anyone else who is interested, for mak
  >a Lord/32 utility program.  You have to use Manndoor, but it is not real
  >difficult to understand how it works as to Lord/32 utilities.  I have Lpedit
  >running on several beta testers' BBS's as a full door program thanks to Jay
  >Hodges.  It also runs in local mode from the Lord/32 directory.

DT>Contact me if you want up-to-date Manndoor code files and source files for
  >Lpedit/32, which you can convert into your own program.

DT>I also have source code and a compiled executable for the unfinished remake 
  >Free World, called FreeWorld II, that Chris Martino had created.  As most kn
  >he disappeared in late May 2005 and has not been heard from by anyone since
  >then.  His web-site also vanished in June 2005.

DT>I also have some code, possibly enough to compile the igm with, for an Lord/
  >igm called Pony's Coffee Shop.  But I've not tried to work on it yet.

DT>All Lord/32 programming incidentally has to be done using either Borland
  >Delphi, Free Pascal, or Virtual Pascal.  You can't use Turbo/Borland Pascal
  >since it only does 16-bit programs.  Donald

Hey, I don't even know what lord/32 is, unless it's the
thing that was referred to as wtlord ?

Last I worked on was fully graphical and sound doorgames,
designed for winserver boards, and even then only for
callers that connected with the wcNavigator.

Couldn't get more than a smidgeon of interest, and even
then only if I begged. :)

Was nice though, at least I thought so.  Could've done
a lord clone that involved seeing all the creatures,
your co-players, heard them growl and roar and speak,
all in full color, and all in real time.

Ah well.  Maybe one of these days do one more igm,
just to see if I can still do it.

Ken
