Its nice of you Jason to post that BETA for others to use for several reasons.
1. No one seems to be able to get Preslar to send them *ANY* betas of LORD in
the last six+ months - that I have ever heard of. 2. You being nice to people
is very appreciated by readers of this echo.

Regarding the statement about Lord for Linux working with IGMs, that does not
make sense to me.  I know of absolutely no one who has even written an Lord/X
IGM to date.  Until Michael stopped responding to email inquiries about LORD,
he personally had told me in summer 2006 that he did NOT know yet how to get
Lord/X to run igms.  LORD for OS/2 is unable to run igms also. You can ONLY run
igms with DOS LORD and with LORD for Windows.  If that situation has changed, I
need to know who exactly wants Linux Lord IGms, and is interested in making
them.

Only two people that I know of have actually made available publicly igms that
work with LORD for Windows.  Myself and Jay Hodges.  His igms are official
releases, whereas mine is in inactive development due to lack of feedback on
how it works.  Its hard to spend time on something when you don't know if it
even works on other people's computers after all.

This entire "Preslar is dead" storyline is a waste of everyone's time. I've
been assured by at least two people that he is still alive.  I think its time
for people to drop the "he's dead" topic.

I'm trying to keep out of this "Preslar abandoned LORD" issue, since I keep
putting my foot in my mouth a lot as a result.  But I just felt that the "Linux
Lord works with IGMs" topic needed a response.  Donald.

P.S.  Bryan Turner did a Mosh Pit igm version that works with Lord for Linux I
think, but it was released three or so years ago.  Which was long before
Michael figured out how to get Lord/32 4.07 beta to work with IGMs.
