Actually.
Dos Lord 4.07 uses the _same_ doorkit that it has used for 10+ years now.
Lord/32, Lord/2, and lord/x, however, use Manndoor.

Seth's last version was 4.01a (or maybe 4.01b)

4.02, my first version, introduced the Jennie bug. That bug was fixed
and released the next day as 4.02b (or was it 4.02pb?)
I have never removed the Jennie codes. IIRC, I removed one code that
sucked and added a new one somewhere around 4.06.

Correct, the Jennie thing was fixed a _long_ time before that.
