"I don't like you!" `m`she pouts as she eludes your grasp and flies away!

On the edge of the Realm lies a dark, foreboding graveyard.
The superstitious whisper of a mysterious being robed in shades of midnight...
a being who they say rules the underground chambers.
A being known as...
Phantom!
Out of the shadows appears a haunting figure, garbed in a billowing
cloak. The being extends a boney finger toward the cemetery.

A swirling purple mist engulfs you.
The air all around seems thin. You gasp for air...
And suddenly you find yourself back at the edge of town.
`m`The day was such a THRILLER! You think you'll come back tomorrow!
The mist swirls to the point of boiling.
As quickly as he appeared, the Phantom is gone!
A thick black fog blocks the entrance to the cemetery.
The Phantom slowly disappears into the swirling blackness.
"Return home my child, perhaps you may visit another day."

`b f r`ALERT: We are about to create or make changes to your setup.fil
`b bl`If you make a mistake during install, you may edit setup.fil.
What is the path name to your LORD directory?
EXAMPLE: c:\doors\lord\
WARNING: This installation did not go successfully.
Please get your LORD game path and try again.
MOONCHAT is a new feature in Shining Star Software new programs and upgrades
which allows users in ALL SSS games (future versions of existing games) to
CHAT with one another on-line, no matter which SSS games are being played.
PLEASE insert a PATH name for your MOONCHAT files to be used by all SSS games.
In new games and upgrades, use the same path.
If it doesn't exist, this directory will be created.
YOU CANNOT LEAVE THIS BLANK!!!)
DIRECTORY NAME MUST NOT EXCEED 8 CHARACTERS!!
EXAMPLE: c:\doors\moonchat  (NO NO NO ENDING BACKSLASH!!!)
I SAID NO TRAILING BACKSLASH!!!
YOU CANNOT LEAVE THIS BLANK!!!!
OPTIONALLY, you may have ANSI and ASCII bulletins created.
PLEASE enter the path to your BULLETIN directory.
Leave BLANK if you don't wish to create bulletins.
The files: phanbull.ans and phanbull.asc will be created.
EXAMPLE: c:\bulletin  (NO NO NO ENDING BACKSLASH!!!)
Number of nodes (remote & local) :  `w`
What is the drop file path and name for node
File missing. You need a setup.fil. Please read docs about setup.fil.
Hit Enter to Continue.
Installation Procedure:
2. You'll need to know how many nodes you have.
3. You'll need to know if you're running LORD with or without a fossil.
Most do. You can load LORDCFG and check your setup there if unsure.
4. If you have a registration key, you may enter it at this time as well.
5. You'll need to know the path name to your LORD directory.
6. You'll need to know the path & name of your drop file:
ie: DORINFO#.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc.
After filling in the blanks, this will create CONFIG.CFG & SETUP.FIL files.
install itself in 3RDPARTY.DAT, and announce itself in LOGNOW.TXT
NOTE: If you are running multinode & require different settings per node
BE SURE TO READ THE DOCS on setting up config files for multinode use.
