INTRODUCTION
------------------
      Congradulations on picking up lord life.  I hope it does everything you
    could ever ask an IGM to to, and I hope it works with your bbs
    system!

    Note:  This version of Lord Life is still in beta testing mode...
      It SHOULD be free of errors but may not be.  NO WARRANTIES are 
      given for this product...BUT THIS VERSION CANNOT BE REGISTERED...
      IT IS TOTALLY FREE FOR NOW...
      That may not continue...but registration will not be too
      expensive when later versions need to be registered. :)
      Lord life should be fully multi-node compatable.  It uses strict
      file locking procedures.

    Note:Life should be immediatly compatable with whatever lord is.  
         Life uses the path to drop file provided by lord's node.1 file.
          Whatever drop file odoors v5 and lord can use...so should lord
         life be able to use.

    * THERE IS BACKUP FILES FOR EVERY *.DAT...they are

        way they were when you recieved lord life.
        ie:  so if you mess up your dats...unzip that file in
        your life directory and all dats will work again.

That is all for now...gotta get back to programming this thing! :)
