An In Game Module for Seth Able Robinson's "Legend of the Red Dragon"

The Grabbag is a very simple IGM that allows LORD players the
opportunity to acquire one of several 'prizes' that are randomly
selected for them when they use the game.

Some of the 'prizes' are:

* Weapon and armour names will be changed to Rubber Chicken and
Dirty Diaper respectively if either of those 'prizes' is grabbed.

* Random amounts of gold and experience can be had as well as an
increase or decrease to charm.

* More forest fights or kids

* Nothing (A Fist Full of Air)

Currently there are 15 random selections.  Nothing is harmful and is only intended to humour the player.  This IGM really doesn't do anything except take up space on one's hard drive. There is no warranty of fitness, expressed or implied, though the author, Gregg Somes, has taken every reasonable precaution to ensure the safe use thereof.

To install this IGM, unzip the archive into a directory of your choice  and run grabcfg.exe.  Choose (I)nstall and enter the full path to where your copy of LORD.EXE is (use a trailing \ [ie: C:\SBBS\XTRN\LORD\ ])

If the installer has any problems, or if you simply prefer, you can edit the 3rdparty.dat found in the LORD directory and add the 2 lines:

C:\SBBS\XTRN\LORD\GRABBAGE\GRABBAG.EXE *
`2Reach into `$The Grabbag`2

(Change the path to where you put grabbag.exe  The * makes the IGM multinode.)

That's it.  Uninstall works the same.  It allows for the automatic deletion of all files related to The Grabbag in both its directory and the LORD directory.  Two files are created in the LORD directory, GRABBAG.DAT and GRABBAG.LOG.  The .dat file holds the daily maintenance records so players can only use the IGM once per day.
