                     LordNews #5 Newsletter Introduction:

Welcome to Volume 2, Issue 1, of my LORD IGM Authors Newsletter. This is
the fifth issue, and marks the anniversary of the newsletter's renewal by
me in November 1999. The purpose of this newsletter is to let people
interested in the BBS door games LORD, LORD II, and Tournament LORD know
about the various active authors, and info on recent LORD program releases.
Entries are on or by the various LORD authors and webmasters, and are
listed in alphabetical order, by last name, or web-site title. When
development is finished, a text version will be created of this HTML
web-page and released on my LordNews mailing list. Those who wish to
receive it by email should register using the Listbot LordNews subscription
section, located on my LORD Links Page --
http://www.lordlegacy.org/camelot/camelot5.htm. If you
would like to receive each HTML web-page issue directly by Email, write me
and request this delivery service. The dragon photo is one I have always
loved, and I hope you all enjoy it. Issue #5 covers September 20 through
December 31, 2000, and is the last quarterly issue. All future issues will
cover four months each.

Special Notes: If you know of any new or updated Lord program, that is not
listed on one of my LORD web-pages, please send it to me by Email. I'm
especially looking for these IGMs: The Jeweler's Shoppe, Milo's Market, Old
Skill Center, and Market Place.  I have added a new section to the issues
that lists author's email addresses. [Red LORD barline]

                        Post-Release Updates Section:
                       (Added from ccigm-5.htm 4/15/01)

12/23 Update:  Bobby's web-site status is still considered Inactive,
but he is still available by Email.  However, some incoming messages are
known to be bouncing on him for reasons unknown.  The site's last update
was made in late August.  12/25 Update:  Various parts of this issue
have been rewritten, to incorporate information received from Bobby Queen,
Paul Koukos, and Ruth Argust.  The Recent Lord programs section, and
LordNews Issues Section have also been updated.  12/31/00 Update:
LordNews Issue #3 web-page updated and released.
    04/15/01 Update: All LordNews issues, previous to Issue #6, have
been revised and updated, including this one (when update is finished),
as part of an overall re-release of all of the old issues.  This is
due to my having moved all of the Listbot text files into the new
Lordnews subdirectory on my site.  Issue #6 will be released Monday,
April 16, 2001.  See it for current updates on people listed here.

                      The LORD Programming Situation:
                  ----------------------------------------
This is a summary of LORD programming this year, through November. LORD has
not had any work done on it, to my knowledge, since the v4.05 beta was
released in March. Michael Preslar is hard to reach by email, and doesn't
reply to people very often or reliably this year, and has been kept busy by
his paid work. I have not seen a single IGM released since Seth Robinson
released LORD v4.00, that uses any of the features added to LORD by him or
Michael. LORD II has not been worked on by anyone since Seth released
v1.01a in July 1997, except for two patch files released through January
1998. There does not seem to any evidence that Gameport ever intends to
give Michael, or anyone else, the contracts to update LORD II. To date, I
have seen three LORD II utilities and four LORD utilities released this
year. No menuset or play guide files were released this year. There have
been fifteen LORD IGMs, that I know of, released to date. Eight of the IGMs
were Y2K updates. The list of active LORD/LORD II IGM authors is currently
limited to Bryan Turner, Rick Parrish, Jason Brown, Tien Lung, Lloyd
Hannesson, Ken Weitzel, and Marc Ryan. There were six LORD II IGMs released
this year, most by Tien Lung and Michael Bujold. No Lord II New World
programs were released this year. However, a couple are known to be in
progress. Only two LORD II utilities were released this year.

The Official LORD II IGM Archive site has been inactive most of the year,
due to Bobby Queen's personal/family health problems, and has not seen any
new IGM reviews added in over a year, other than ones made by Codax Dragon.
This has had a freezing effect I have been told on many authors producing
LORD II programs. Also, the IGM authors are unable to easily avoid program
conflicts due to the lack of an up-to-date LORD II block address record
FAQ, which Bobby has been unable to provide to them. Due to my inability to
contact Bobby by email anymore, I'm listing his web-sites in the Fully
Inactive and "Dead Sites" sections currently. His site has been completely
inactive since late August 2000.
                   ----------------------------------------
  04/15/01 Update: Bobby's web-site remains inactive, but was updated
  by Bobby after this issue's release.  He is recovering from surgery
  currently at home, since mid-March 2001.  Both Bobby and his
  web-sites are classified, until he recovers enough to resume site
  updates, as Fully inactive.  For more information, see (ccigm-6.htm)
  LordNews Issue #6.

Some good news is that Lloyd Hannesson is continuing to post all of the
LORD IGMs on his Tech'N Software site, and will eventually have them tested
for Y2K compliance, and other problems. So people looking for a single
source for the LORD IGMs should thank him for doing this for us. Here is my
take on LORD's future. With the exception of Joseph Watson's IGMs work, and
his friends' work, WT-LORD programming has stopped. There is NO work of any
kind done to support Worldgroup T-LORD, so it can be considered as
deceased. LORD II is viewable as being in a coma, with brief signs of life,
from the few active LORD II IGM authors. And classic LORD is on life
support, with occasional IGMs getting released for it. This is an analogy.
LORD had three doctors in residence. Dr. Preslar has been away from his
patient for eight months in essence. Dr. Marcelletti killed his patient, in
my opinion. And Dr. nobody at Gameport has left LORD II in its coma. I am
thankful though that there are still over a dozen of us who have continued
to care for our beloved LORD programs. As long as that continues, there is
always hope for LORD's future to improve.
                   ----------------------------------------
  04/15/01 Update:  Lord II was updated by Preslar in February 2001, in
  a cosmetic update, which included recompiled L2.exe/L2cfg.exe files
  which fixed the problems Lord2 had running on fast systems. For full
  details, see LordNews #6.

Tournament LORD's Worldgroup version has been abandoned as far as I can
tell by everyone. No one writes IGMs for it, and no one is working on the
Worldgroup version for Gameport. The Wildcat version (WT-LORD) was
abandoned this summer by IceRage (Marceletti) when they apparently went out
of business, so the ownership rights have returned to Gameport. With the
exception of a patch release in December 1999, WT-LORD had not seen any
work done to it by IceRage. The only author to produce IGMs for WT-LORD
continues to be Joseph Watson, although I've heard there is one other
person working on an IGM for it. Gameport does not seem to care about any
of the LORD programs, and is known to be completely hostile to anyone
producing a 32-bit Windows or OS/2 version of LORD. Joseph has, to date,
released twelve IGMs this year, three of them brand new. 
                   ----------------------------------------
  04/15/01 Update:  Preslar is currently working on a Linux version of
  LORD, with 32-bit versions to follow for Windows/OS-2.  Gameport is
  also trying to contact Icerage personnel to obtain the source code
  for Wildcat T-Lord.  For full info on this, see LordNews #6. In
  relation to the above section, Michael is still difficult to get
  email responses from. [Red LORD barline]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

April 2001 Summary for above section:
The following authors are no longer actively writing for LORD or LORD
II: Bryan Turner, Rick Parrish, Jason Brown, and Tien Lung. Info on
LORD/Lord2/WT-Lord programs released since December 2000 may be seen
in ccigm-6.htm.  Codax Dragon continues to work on his Battlefield
Lord2 IGM, and Duncan Idaho is still working on his DuneLord and Wheel
of Time Lord2 new world programs. The primary impetus in Lord II
programming at this time is by Joel Gathercole.  Lloyd Hannesson
continues to work away at listing/hosting LORD IGMs on his site.

One person other than Joseph Watson is known to be working on WT-Lord igms,
and two others are maintaining qualily WT-Lord igm hints pages.  On the
doctor analogy, Lord and Lord II are alive and kicking, other than in
the IGMs production department, where classic Lord remains fairly comatose.
The WG Tournament LORD programming area remains totally dead.  Dr. Preslar
and "Doctor" Gathercole are doing good work on the Lord II patient, but
no Lord2 igm authors are responding to their medical care so far. Lastly,
Gameport *IS* now going full-speed on development of 32-bit LORD games,
LORD II development, and even Planets: TEOS.  Also WebLord, for Internet
sites play, is under development at this time - April 2001.

                       LORD Newsletter Survey Notes:

Thanks to the few friends who participated in my survey to determine the
future of this newsletter. Here are the results, all effective immediately:
The newsletter will be produced three times per year, or every four months.
I have streamlined this page to use one single barline graphic. As some
indicated would be appreciated, I have added a dragon art picture to this
issue, and will select another later on for Issue #6. The Listbot Text
version of this issue will no longer have the author entries edited to
include email/website addresses. If you need them, see ccigm-5.htm. This
issue's HTML web-page will be Emailed to those who wish to include it
directly as some have requested, via a new Mailing List I have set up
in Eudora. If you wish to be included, let me know, and I will add you
to it. I am not planning to make any changes to the Listbot LordNews
mailing list. This issue, when distributed through it, will be
transmitted in two sections. As for questions about the future of this
newsletter, as long as there are twelve or more Lord friends who remain
interested, and provide contributions, there will be a new Issue each
four months. The original LordNews survey message is archived inside
ccigm-5h.zip, as cci-1122.txt.

Other Notes: I want to know if many would prefer that I drop the master
link code that accesses my web-site to download the graphics. The access
counter is intended to help me keep track of how many are viewing the
newsletter on my web-site. Issues #1, #2, and #4 all have valid access
counter code, and Issue #3 was updated in late December, fixing the
access counter.  The Listbot Text files for each newsletter issue are
kept on my web-site. Updates are normally only made to the issue's
web-page version.
---------------
04/02/01 Note:  All of the old issues's text versions, including this
one, have been updated, as part of the process of putting all LordNews
text issue files in the new Lordnews directory on my web-site.  When
created, CCIGM-06.TXT will be stored in the Lordnews directory also.
[Red LORD barline]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Kiteria's Korner Status Update:

12/23-12/25 Update: Kiteria's Korner has not been updated since early
August, due to Bobby Queen's health and family problems.  Also, the
majority of the site is not updated unless new Lord articles are
provided for it.  I have been in contact with Bobby, and he plans to
keep hosting Kiteria's Korner.  (Deleted some text here on 4/16/01.
    There is now a new mirror of the Official Lord II IGM Archive and
Kiteria's Korner sites on the Lord Legacy server, thanks to Joel
Gathercole and Michael Preslar.  Also there is no longer any need
to worry about Bobby Queen's ISP shutting him down, so other than our
still needing to help him occasionally with the sites' updating, all
that is needed is for everyone to "nudge" him at times into doing site
updates.

For those who ask what is Kiteria's Korner, it is a storehouse of
articles on LORD created by Bryan Turner and Suzanne Franklin over
several years. It doesn't cover Lord II or Tournament Lord, other than
listing the web-sites that relate to them, in its Lord Links page, which
is based upon my Lord Links Summary Page. I have been helping Suzanne
with her site since 1998, when Bryan stopped working on it for her.
Due to her own health problems, Suzanne felt the site would benefit
from Bobby Queen taking over the site's hosting, development, and
management, which happened in early May 1999. Since then, he and I
jointly have taken care of her site. We completely redesigned and
renovated Kiteria's Korner in June 2000. These changes are fully
detailed in LordNews Issue #3.  With some exceptions, Bobby has been
fully inactive for this entire year, due to health problems.  Bobby is
still around, and can be reached at wizards@shelby.net.  He has the
Official Lord2 IGM and Kiteria's Korner sites both mirrored on his
webjump.com server accounts.
                   ----------------------------------------
04/02/01 Update:  Various components of Kiteria's Korner have been updated
since this issue was written.  The plans discussed in this issue to move
the site, and take over sole management of it were cancelled.  Also, parts
of Bobby's Official Lord2 site have also been updated since December.
For info on Bobby Queen's current status, see LordNews Issue #6.

With some exceptions, Bobby has been fully inactive for this entire year
(2000), due to health problems. Then there has been the "dangling sword"
situation, where since September 2000, we've been expecting his ISP to
shut down his accounts at shelby.net.  So far, that hasn't happened, as of
mid-December 2000.  And for the past month approximately, I've been unable
to reach Bobby by Email, or through friends' messages on the Fidonet Lord
echo. His primary email account appears to have been shut down, and it is
not clear what the status of his secondary email account is. Bobby has
backed up his Official Lord II IGM Archive site, and Kiteria's Korner, on
his webjump.com mirror site.

April 2001 Notes:  In late December, after this issue was originally
released, I was able to hear from Bobby.  Shelby.net had been losing his
email, from me and many others.  That problem was finally resolved after
nearly a month of aggravation, for all concerned.  Over the past four
months, I've updated components of Bobby's Official Lord2 site, some of
which has not yet been uploaded to the site.  I have also updated the
Kiteria's Korner site with updated pages, which included doing spell
checking on several Article pages.  Bobby underwent surgery in March
2001, and has gone quiet on people, while he recovers from that ordeal.
So until he resurfaces, both the Kiteria site and the Official Lord2
site will be fully inactive once again.  If the situation changes, it
will be reported in one of these ways: (1) Notice via my Lord Links
page;  (2) addendum notice added to the LordNews issue #6 files;  or
(3) put into the LordNews Issue #7 web-page.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
All IGM/utility authors are invited to send their file(s) to
(ruth@doorgames.org) so that the file(s) can be sent to sysops all over the
world (and Internet webmasters). Please be certain that the file is
virus-free and DOES contain a FILE_ID.DIZ file. For more information on
having your file hatched, please see the DDS Web Page at
http://www.doorgames.org or contact me directly. This is a free service to
all in order to provide you with wide circulation of your programs. There

who do not otherwise have a way to receive them. For more details, see the
ddsinfo.zip file.

                    Mike Dillon - -- Crystalline Realms
        ------------------------------------------------------------
10/10: I have almost completed a new Lord, Lord2, and TEOS utility. It
works under Windows 9x/ME, Linux, and DOS. It takes the player database
from those 3 games and creates an HTML file which can be posted on a web-
site by the sysop. 10/14: Crystalline Stats program released. It is
available either from Mike's site directly or from my LORD Menusets Page in
three versions. A DOS/DPMI version, the Windows version, and a Linux ELF
version. The program takes player stats from LORD v3.55+, Lord II v1.01,
Planets: TEOS v2.0, and Avalon, such as player name, gender, experience,
etc., and creates HTML statistics pages. 12/19: Some new details on CStats:
The new binary is basically a bug fix, to fix problems with the program's
output. I've re-designed the core of CStats to be more flexible, so support
for new doors can be easily added. I'm expecting to add 3-5 more doors
soon, and don't have a date set for releasing the next version.

    Mike Ehlert --- BBS Archives --- PC Micro LORD Addons Page
  --- PC Micro LORD Utilities Page --- PC Micro Door Developer Kits Page
        ------------------------------------------------------------
The BBS Archives have a large collection of Lord, Lord2, and T-Lord IGMs
and utilities, with over a thousand Lord-related files. The LORD programs
are primarily on these pages: archives.thebbs.org/ra98a.htm,
archives.thebbs.org/ra99a.htm, and archives.thebbs.org/ra102a.htm. Mike
supplies BBS/Lord authors with free web hosting, without annoying pop-up
ads and banners. You will get 20 megabytes of fast web space for free,
along with a web-page hits counter, guest-book, and link manager. See
http://thebbs.org/homepage for details. Authors and others may send BBS
programs to Mike for hosting on his web-site either by Email, or by
uploading them to his FTP server. For more info, read Mike's entry in
LordNews Issue #4.

       Michael Everett --- Bobo's BBS Lord site
        ------------------------------------------------------------
10/30: I have a registration generator program for Baldur's Camp, and will
be putting it online soon. 11/15 Note: The Baldur's Camp registration code
generator is now available from my Lord Menusets Page. 12/03: I have heard
from Jay Cochrane (mrmom3@earthlink.net) and he reports that he is still
supporting his IGMs (WonderLand Software) and that anyone needing help or
registration can email him. Also he will be doing a special for
registrations due to the current status of the BBS community. And he is
thinking of putting his BBS back up, and is still working on some BBS
projects. He says he can put up a web-site for his IGMs if there is a need.
(So I think we should all write him and ask him to do so. We always need
more Lord web-sites. DGT). Michael also reports that he and a friend are
working on a new Lord IGM named CC45, which will be released in a few
months. Michael has a Telnet site that offers Lord games at
telnet://bobobbs.net, which has over 60 players now. 12/17: I've finished
my exams, and I'm working a lot on some of the projects that I couldn't
give much attention to during the school year. I am working with KDrive and
KLord to make my first Lord IGM. Which isn't too easy since I know C++ and
Java, and not a lick of Pascal . I've always wanted to learn so hopefully
after Christmas, I'll have enough completed to release the first beta
version. I would appreciate any tips from the other authors who have used
KLord.

    Joel Gathercole --- Lord II: Complete New World -- Alternate email:
    greenie@darktech.org -- greenie_23@yahoo.com
        ------------------------------------------------------------
11/23: New email/website address entry created, thanks to information from
Mike Ehlert. Joel has lost his old copies of the Lord II: CNW files, so
those who have older versions are asked to send them to him. 11/26 - Joel:
I've recently registered my own domain at greenmachinebbs.com, and I was
able to locate the v136.0 CNW file in my lord2@egroups mailing list. Which
is a mailing list for Lord II authors, players, etc. I was unable to locate
my CNW files on the darktech.org server, and their administrator no longer
had them. I've been working on rebuilding my web-site, and joining various
Lord related webrings. I will be working on updating the CNW program soon.

11/27: Hello everyone, I must apologize for my bad URLs I've had in the
past, I've been trying to find a suitable dynamic DNS address. I ended up
with some sort of problem with each one I tried. So, I decided to register
my own domain name for my webBBS. I also had moved all my web- sites to my
own server. Meaning ALL my old addresses no longer exist. Please, if you
have in your links section a link to LORD2: Complete New World, please make
the link to: http://greenmachinebbs.com/lord2 -- this is where the site
will rest. I will now be working on more releases of the CNW packages. I
will be now responding to ideas and to bug reports. As in the past 6 months
or so, I've had no time what-so-ever for this. Now, I would like to hear
about any new or updated Lord2 IGMs that have been released in the past 8
to 10 months. Please email me at greenie@darktech.org or on the
lord2@egroups.com mailing list. REMINDER, join the lord2@egroups.com
mailing list if you haven't yet!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

04/16/01 Note: Rather than do several small line updates for
the previous authors, I'm going to do batch entries for several at a
time.  Mike Dillon is still working on his Crystalline Stats program.
Michael Everett has not released any Lord programs, as of mid-April.
In regard to his comments on Jay Cochrane, I wrote him once, and was
ignored.  I can't say that anyone can rely on him to truly be supporting
his programs, as a result.  Joel has been very busy the past few months.
Just read LordNews #6 to find out about his activities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Lloyd Hannesson --- Tech'N Software
        ------------------------------------------------------------
Warrior's Graveyard v1.70 was released in late September, and Felicity's
Temple v2.00 was released in mid-October. Lloyd also has redesigned his
site, including the new Lord IGM Archive, that he is still working on. This
will contain all of the known Lord IGMs when finished, which will be tested
for Y2K problems as well. Lloyd also is planning to list and host the Lord
Menusets/Utility files, and Lord II programs eventually. 12/19: Lloyd has
been busy with moving to a new apartment in early December and getting a
new DSL line installed and working. If you've been waiting for him to
respond to your email, he's working his way through a month of messages.

              Robert Olsen -- Lord II: The Awakening Project
        ------------------------------------------------------------
10/22: The Awakening Project is a multi-player online game under
development, which will have an engine demo available publicly soon. My BBS
is temporarily down and relocating. Since I run one, Reflection chose to
make a Lord modification that is based on the Awakening Project Gameworld.

       Joseph Watson -- joeCODE WT-LORD IGM Page --- Alternate Email:
                         jmwatson@cox-internet.com
        ------------------------------------------------------------
10/21: Trader Vic's is almost ready for release, and a new program in
development is called Lady Cara's Tea Parlor. Another project is an IGM
that is a menuset program to allow more IGMs in WT-Lord. The Ask Clinton
IGM will be renamed and updated to relate to current events, and to the
next President. A friend, Bobby Thornton, is working on an adult IGM named
Bubba's Strip Club. Lastly, Joe has added a WT-Lord players gallery page,
which will list some info on players using his BBS. 10/29: I've set up a
discussion board for WT-Lord IGM tips, etc, on my site. Visit
http://www.farpointbbs.com/wtlord/ and use the link under the poster to
access it. I've released a new IGM, Lady Cara's Tea Parlor. It's a little
trinket for the guys, but is written for the girls so they can get back at
guys who are harassing them online. Ladies, you can now go kick the guys in
the crotch, call them names, and stuff like that. 11/15: The Trader Vic's
IGM is now available, either from Joe's site, or from my Tournament Lord
IGMs Page. 12/15 Note: The Twilight Zone v1.20 IGM update has been released
on Joe's site.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

04/16/01 Update:  Lloyd continues to work on listing Lord igms on his
Tech'N Software site.  So far, he's not started listing non-igm Lord
programs.  Olsen has not given me any more info about the Awakening
Project, which I think is dead.  Watson has been busy in the last four
months.  For a full account of changes since December, read LordNews
Issue #6.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

              Category: Semi-Active LORD Authors/Webmasters:
               ---------------------------------------------

             Marty Blankenship --- The GameMaster BBS Web Site
        ------------------------------------------------------------
12/19: Marty is planning on a mid-January release of his Marty's Mercantile
IGM update. He's dealing at the moment with family Christmas planning, and
raising his three pre-teen daughters as a single parent.

                  Jason Brown --- Jason Brown's IGMs Page
        ------------------------------------------------------------
Inactive, going to college. He's considering releasing his Lord IGMs and
Utilities as open source, retaining control over version releases as an
administrator. He wishes to know if anyone is interested in this idea, so
if you are, please write him. 11/26: Jason has started development of
RHPScript version 2. 11/28: With your recent view on the future of LORD,
perhaps all of us programmers on the list can get together and start
something new? Something that could start out as a "clone" of LORD, but
perhaps with grander ideals later on? Such as making it Internet based.
Just a thought, before everyone goes their own ways. I'd be interested in
the project, personally. I can do the scripting language. :) Note: I think
this is a wonderful idea, Jason has, so hope some of the rest of you can
look into doing this with him. 12/12: RHPScript v2.0 is new scripting
language to replace/augment features in my IGMs, and make them more robust.
And I may be updating LordStat soon.

12/11: Work on DuneLord is going slow due to college work, required by the
government, and several personal problems. Marriage plans and move to
Sweden cancelled. I'm planning on getting the new Brian Herbert Dune novels
-- House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and seeing if they have anything
useful for DuneLord.

10/05: I'm currently on inactive status. I should be getting a new, faster
computer sometime next month, as well as a bigger hard drive. This will
give me plenty of room to work on all my projects, so hopefully I should
return to active status by Christmas, or at the latest, early next year.
Newsletter Contribution: For those of you who are still interested in
LORD/LORD 2, you can visit my Message Board and discuss it. Currently, I
only have 2 areas set up: one to discuss the various LORD 2 programs I've
made, and one to discuss my new world. I'll set up areas for general LORD
and LORD 2 discussions if enough people show interest. The message board is
powered by ezBoards, so you might want to register an account. It's free,
but it's not required to use the board. You can find the main message board
here: http://pub5.ezboard.com/btheearthdrakesforum. 10/31: I've got my main
page redesigned so, and am working on fixing the rest of my site. 11/24:
Yahoo is continuing to screw up the various webrings, so if someone is
dropped from the Lord II webring, they will have to rejoin, since they have
made it very hard for me to work on webring site info. My hard drive has
died on me, on Nov. 15, so my computer/Internet access is limited to a
laptop computer. Work on my web-site is stopped until I get a new hard
drive or computer, probably after Christmas.

12/18: I'm currently looking to find some MUD builders interested in doing
a few areas based on the LORD game. For example, creating an Inn with
Violet, Seth, and the bunch, or a training area with Barak, and the like.

11/10: Well folks, I've heard from our friend Michael, and here is his
entry for this issue: So what all have I been up to.. Let's see ... to put
it simple: tons. The company I work for has kept me incredibly busy..
Apparently, I've done well enough that I got a promotion a few weeks ago to
head programmer. No need for details on the work they've got me doing, as
everyone knows how it is.. Soon as you meet one deadline, they give you
another.. As far as lord stuffs go.. Unfortunately, my 486 died.. That
machine has all of my BBS programming, including lord, on it. So until i
can recover it.. Not sure when I'll be able to do that either.. More than
like, I'll replace the machine.. But won't be able to afford that until
Christmas. I've recently took on a couple of side-project contracts to
bring in a bit more income.. But my server has been doing rather well,
other than the hard drive crash in October. I've slacked a bit in updating
the lord site, and the LORD2 and TEOS sites are on the way back burner..
Maybe one day. I'd like to think that the lord site (the skeleton I'll
follow for the LORD2 and TEOS sites) is setup in such a way that most
anyone could come in and make use of it.. There's not a lot to say other
than I've been a very busy code monkey over the past year or so. 12/19
Note: The Lord Legacy site has been inactive since August 2000.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
Tien has discontinued working on the CALiB Lord2 new world. However, he is
considering having it published by a software company. He is still working
on the Nightmare's Gate Lord2 IGM. 12/12: My Lord2-related news is that I
am no longer working on any of my IGMs. I've decided to walk away from the
BBS and door games scene due to the lack of public interest. My focuses are
now centered around the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition game and on
finishing my PSX demo for Activision.

12/25/00 Addition:  Hellas BBS is back in operation after rebuilding
from a hard drive failure. Paul is an inactive Lord author, who offers
Lord games online on his site, and wrote the Robin Hood Lord IGM.
                   ----------------------------------------

04/16/01 Update: Blankenship:  Still waiting for him to release his
Marty's Mercantile IGM update.  No contact since December issue
released. Jason Brown:  Has given up Lord programming, to work on
other projects.  Is graduating from college in May 2001.  Idaho:
Continues to work on DuneLord and L2: Wheel of Time programs. Is
incorporating ideas from the new Brian Herbert Dune novels into his
DuneLord program.  Elric:  Remains inactive Lord-wise.  Still waiting
for a new computer system.  Is a busy beaver otherwise, via wife's
laptop, running multiple BBS web-pages and message boards.  Elder:
See LordNews #6 for details on Orion Elder's contributions to that
issue.  Preslar:  Extensive work done in last four months, including
Lord v4.06, Linux Lord program in progress, and WebLord in progress.
See ccigm-6.htm to learn details.  Tien Lung:  As noted in last issue,
he quit trying to finish CALiB.  He also quit work on Nightmare's Gate.
Lastly, he quit Lord2 programming altogether earlier this year.
Weitzel:  Has no plans for Lord programming until its time to do next
Seasons IGM.

11/11: I currently am unable to update my web-page, due to my computer
system having died, and I no longer have Internet access. However, I plan
on fixing those problems soon. As soon as I regain my computer and Internet
access, I will be back and kicking. During the downtime, I am working on a
new Lord II new world program, that is rather complex.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
12/17: I'm sorry for having gone another year without putting out an IGM. I
just got my system back recently, and have started doing a major overhaul
of everything. I feel so close to finishing my Cruise IGM, that it's
painful! That and I haven't gotten any response on anyone wanting to do
some of the ASCII animations with me, so progress is... less than
satisfactory. What I really need to do, is sit down one weekend, and do
some hard-core coding. I hope to get a chance like that when I go home for
Christmas, but time will only tell. The only definite thing I can say is
that this will be my final IGM. In order to make time for my new art
venues, I've had to make several changes to the things I do. My getting an
actual job also had a hand in this. This won't be my last update, and if
anyone sends me an Lord II IGM, I'll still review/test it. Happy Holidays
to all and I appreciate everyone's support.

        ------------------------------------------------------------
12/17: I've been extremely busy lately. Had a tooth removed as an
emergency, and family has been busy. And it's "Christmas" time, when we all
rush around like a headless chicken . 12/19 Note: I have not heard back
from Korombos, so I'll just summarize here that he has indicated previously
that a new version of KDrive and KLord, and possibly his Lord IGMs, will be
released sometime soon. [Red LORD barline]

04/16/01 Note:  KDrive, KLord, IGM-X, Haunted Mansion, and Fun and

                    Fully Inactive Authors/Webmasters:

   Bobby Queen (puppies@shelby.net) -- Official Lord II IGM Archive Site
   Kiteria's Korner --- Mirror Sites: Kiteria's Korner --- Lord2 Archive
        ------------------------------------------------------------
Fully inactive due to family health problems. As of September, he was
active as moderator of the FidoNet LORD echoes. His primary web-sites at
shelby.net continue to be available, but have been expected to be closed at
anytime for over two months now by the ISP. He stopped reviewing Lord II
IGMs last year. His web-site has been fully inactive since August 30. Due
to his becoming inaccessible by Email, Lord II authors who wish to have
their programs distributed and/or hosted on the Internet, need to send them
to Ruth Argust. She will post them on the Fidonet for you, and on the DDS
Lord/Lord II page, located at http://www.doorgames.org. 11/23: Reclassified
Bobby and his web-sites in the "Dead Sites" category, due to loss of email
contact, and the long- term inactive status of his Official Lord II site.
We will all miss Bobby and hope to hear from him again someday. Note: The
puppies@shelby.net address seems valid, but I've not received any response
from Bobby using it. My last contact with Bobby was on November 16, when he
told me he had surgery scheduled on his right hand, for nerve problems, on
Nov. 28. And he was still dealing with taking care of his grandmother.
                   ----------------------------------------
04/02/01 Note: See previous notes regarding Bobby in LORD Programming
Situation section.  And see ccigm-6.htm.  04/16:  The hand surgery
was cancelled.  Email contact regained with Bobby until mid-March 2001,
after which he's been quiet on everyone, while recovering from major
surgery.  Possibility of his ISP shutting him down disappeared around
January 2001.  Codax Dragon has agreed to do additional IGM reviews of
programs listed on Bobby's Untested IGMs page. 

                  Seth Robinson --- Robinson Technologies
        ------------------------------------------------------------
10/21: I received an interesting ICQ conversation log from a friend. I've
placed it in the file ICQ-0909.TXT, inside the ccigm-5h.zip archive of this
newsletter issue. It is too long and cumbersome to try to reword into
paragraph format, but I feel that others might find some value in it. The
topic is the early origins of the LORD game. 12/11: Seth has created at an
unknown date a LORD/TEOS FAQ page on his web-site that answers many
questions people are asking him about Lord, Lord II, Tournament Lord, or
Planets: Teos. See http://www.rtsoft.com/pages/lordfaq.htm.
                   ----------------------------------------
04/02/01 Note: No longer known to have any interest in Lord.  No longer
responds to people's email, except for form letter auto-responses.
               ---------------------------------------------

Others who are Fully Inactive: Suzanne Franklin, Bryan Stanbridge, David
Simmons, and Chet Rhodes. <I>Semi-Inactive:</I> Michael Bujold, as of
April 2001.  Paul Koukos is considered active for web-site management,
and fully inactive for Lord programming work.  Becky Benjamin's site
closed sometime after January 2001.  Eric Vinson is considered a
Dead site author, due to lack of a valid email address. And Bryan
Turner, Tien Lung, and Jason Brown have all quit Lord/Lord2
programming, as has been previously noted.  And as noted, Bobby Queen
is back on full inactive status, until he recovers from his surgery.

                    Newsletter Summary and Contributions:

Future issues of my newsletter, effective Dec. 31, 2000, will cover four
months per issue, approximately. This issue's coverage period is for
mid-September through December 19, 2000. LordNews Issue #6 covers January
2001 through April 2001. Remember to subscribe to the LordNews mailing list
via my LORD Links Page. You can also request HTML page delivery by Email for
this and subsequent issues. Photo credits: 12/16/00 - The drag-109.jpg,
original name 109.jpg, is from the The Dragon Archives site, an excellent
source of public domain dragon graphics and poetry.
        ------------------------------------------------------------

This issue was started on Oct. 06, 2000. Any Lord authors who wish to stop
supporting and developing their programs are asked to contact Lloyd
Hannesson, who along with Bryan Turner and Korombos, are interested in
taking them over. And old WT-Lord authors are asked to contact Joseph
Watson, and let him take over development and support of your old programs.

The following faithful supporters are thanked once again for their
continued support and participation. Ruth Argust, Marty Blankenship, Jason
Brown, Mike Dillon, Codax Dragon, Mike Ehlert, Michael Everett, Joel
Gathercole, Lloyd Hannesson, Duncan Idaho, Tien Lung, Michael Preslar,
Joseph Watson, Elric (Jay Weber), Codax Dragon, and Michael Preslar. Thanks
also to others who have been supportive in the past, including Suzanne
Franklin, Sallee Huber, Bobby Queen, and Seth Robinson. I wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This web-page was created using the
Qedit v3.0 DOS text editor, and developed using Netscape Navigator
v4.72-v4.76.

Final development notes: Added link to my Castle Camelot Guestbook, and did
Listbot Text version file creation work. I hope you all enjoy reading the
newsletter, and remember the HTML page is the primary version, for those
reading the Text version file(s).  12/20/2000 Note: I have provided
Ruth Argust and Mike Ehlert with a third LordNews Issue #5 archive,
ccigm-5p.zip, which contains the three graphics files used by the HTML
newsletter issue.  This Issue's text version was released via Listbot
in two sections.  [Red LORD barline]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Post-Development Notes:  12/23/2000 and 12/25:  Newsletter sections
relating to Bobby Queen and to Kiteria's Korner status have been rewritten,
to cover late arriving information received from Bobby Queen and Paul
Koukos. The original newsletter files are also now available from the
DDS Lord/Lord II page.  12/31:  Released updated LordNews Issue #3
web-page; modified LordNews issue links section.  Newsletter length:
14 pages, using MS Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.

Starting on March 27, 2001, LordNews Issues #1-#5, text versions, have
been brought up-to-date with notations and/or updated information,
preparatory for release of LordNews Issue #6 web-page, in mid-April 2001.
04/14/01: Started update of ccigm-5.htm by replacing LordNews issues
links section.   Finished update of Issue #5 files on 4/16/01.
              --------------------------------------------------

my site's relocation to http://www.lordlegacy.org/camelot/.
