  LORD SERVER FOR WINDOWS 1.3  and  LORD FREE PASCAL EDITION
  Two new ways to run Legend of the Red Dragon
========================================================================

Hello all,

I've been working on two Legend of the Red Dragon projects and both are
now ready for other sysops to try.


  LORD SERVER FOR WINDOWS

  A LORD game server in the style of TWGS. It runs on a Windows box and
  players reach it two ways:

    - telnet straight in, with their own login
    - an rlogin door from your BBS; the player is created from the BBS
      user name, with no extra password

  So players from several boards can share one realm. Other features:

    - several games on one server (A, B, C ...), each with its own
      players
    - a live sysop console showing who is on, with kick, settings,
      game set-up and game reset
    - runs as a Windows service, or in a console window
    - DOS IGMs from 3RDPARTY.DAT run through DOSBox-X, which is
      included with a small FOSSIL driver. Tested with The Dragon
      Vault, Barak's House and The Pawn Shop 3.40
    - installer, MSI or plain zip, for 64-bit Windows 10/11 or
      Server 2016 and newer

  Version 1.3 fixes the player editor: turning Dead off for a killed
  player now also restores their hit points.


  LORD FREE PASCAL EDITION (LORD FP)

  A rebuild of LORD in Free Pascal, based on the JavaScript LORD that
  comes with Synchronet. Each download is a complete game, ready to set
  up from scratch - you don't need LORD already installed:

    - DOS: LORD.EXE and LORDCFG.EXE with the stock LORD 4.06 data
      files. Already running LORD 4.06? It can also drop into your
      existing directory and keep your players, IGMs, LADY scripts
      and MAINT.BAT
    - Linux: a native door, no DOS emulator needed for the game itself

  It reads the common drop files (DOOR.SYS, DOOR32.SYS, DORINFO and
  others), and the full source code is included.


  TRY IT OR GET IT

  Play both on Kalgoorlie Retro BBS: telnet bbs.theiguru.au, then X
  for the games.

  Downloads and documentation:

  They are also in the Heisenbergs Files area on the BBS (log in to
  download).

Questions, bug reports and IGM test results are welcome here or by
netmail.
