Attention:  Lord/Lord II/Tournament LORD/TEOS authors:

I am considering starting up a new Lord IGM Authors Newsletter service
that would cover Lord, Lord II, and Tournament Lord.  Michael Preslar
is about ready to release the new version of LORD, v4.05, and will start
work on upgrading LORD II next.  It will aid me in providing coverage of
LORD programs in my Castle Camelot website's Lord-related web pages if 
people send me information on their Lord/Lord2/T-Lord programming plans.
    Since it is time-consuming to write Lord/Lord II/T-Lord a lot, where
you see Lord, just assume it covers all of the programs. Please answer 
the following questions for me:

1) If I start up a newsletter, will you provide me with updates on your
programs, either monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly?

2) If you have no plans to ever write for Lord, Lord II, or Tournament
Lord again, I want to make people aware that Michael Preslar is willing
to take over your programs, and provide support and upgrades for them.
If this interests you, contact him at e_maus@covingtononline.com .

3) I have tried to provide a listing of all Lord/Teos programming done
by the authors who have a current website on my Castle Camelot LORD Links
Page -- http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/5389/camelot5.html --
and if you have a website I am not aware of, please let me know about it.
If you have programs not listed there, please let me know that also.

4) If you are currently working on new Lord programs, or have plans to
do so later, please let me know what you are working on.

5) I am collecting information, to forward to Michael Preslar, on how the
various Lord II authors feel Lord II should be upgraded, or about any
current bugs that need to be fixed in it.  Please send me any ideas or
thoughts you have for upgrading/fixing Lord II.  Comments on future
upgrades of LORD will also be appreciated.

My thoughts on doing a newsletter would include providing issues of it
on my website for download, probably in archive .ZIP files.  If any of
you need to have your programs distributed for Lord, Lord II, Tournament
Lord (Wildcat or Worldgroup), or Planets: TEOS, and do not already know
how to do so, here's contact information for the four people who can
help you with this.  Also, you can send your programs to me, and I will
forward them to these people.

Lord II programs should still be sent to Bobby Queen at wizards@shelby.net .
At present, Bobby is not able to review the programs, but will post your
Lord II files on his Official Lord II IGM Archive Site --
http://www.shelby.net/wizards/lord2igm/index.htm .  He also wishes to
have anyone with TEOS files send them to him.

All Lord/Teos programs can be sent to Mike Ehlert at mike@pcmicro.com
for distribution through the Pacific Coast Micro website -- 
http://www.pcmicro.com .

All BBS-related programs, including Lord/Teos files, can be sent to
Ruth Argust at ruth@doorgames.org for distribution on the DDS website --
http://www.doorgames.org .  

Thanks in advance for any advice, upgrade information, programs information,
website addresses, and so forth that you send me.  All those who do help me
with this project will be acknowledged for their aid either in a Newsletter
or on my LORD Links Page.
