I gave it a try, and it was able to install and run on my 64-bit WIn10 system. So now I have a RIP terminal program to test with if I ever decide to develop RIP screens for my BBS.. One thing I noticed though is that while Synchronet detected that I have a RIP terminal, I tried playing Legend of the Red Dragon, and LORD did not detect that I had a RIP terminal. I'm pretty sure LORD has RIP graphics, although I'm wondering if I was mistkaen..

Do you have the RIP graphics turned off for when LORD loads?

I have it disabled in my LORD 4.06 and the command line reads as follows:

start %# NORIP

It does. Make sure you *don't* have "NORIP" on your lord.exe command-line (e.g. in start.bat):
:BEGIN
LORD.EXE %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 /DREW NORIP

What does the /DREW do when it is used?

I honestly don't remember. Some die-hard LORD fan will chime in and let us know, I'm sure. :-)

all i know is it wont process the node command if you remove it.
perhaps it's an old legacy command but still required due to the expected command sequence.

LORD fan who has been out of practise for a *long* time here. :)

I recall that the /DREW switch actually wasn't related to anything technical at all. There was some kind of inside joke about Drew
Barrymore built into the game, and it manifested by showing the status line (on the Sysop side) some quotes or something to do with Drew Barrymore. I can't remember if the /DREW caused those quotes to appear,
or if it suppressed them, but it did something related to that.

It *shouldn't* be needed for anything technical in nature, but there's
no way to know if anything that Michael Pressler did when updating the game changed the way that original command line switch worked.

You would think it would at least be about Jenni.

Well, Beverly Hills 90210 was a popular thing when he was working on those games.

I'm guessing most people can't name very many zip codes off the top of their heads, maybe the one(s) where they reside, and that one.

From the L.O.R.D. FAQ (for those not aware of it):

If you're in "high spirits", go to the forest, and type Jennie. As
noted, it will ask you to define her. Here's what you can type -- and
what you get:

FOXY -- one gem

SEXY -- extra user fight

BABE -- extra forest fight

DUNG -- you turn into a frog until you apologize

UGLY -- you are returned to the BBS. When you get back to the game, your hitpoints have plunged to 1 -- so if you don't see a Healer before you
"Look for something to kill", you likely will get "killed", and are out
of the game until the next day.

FAIR -- no effect
HOTT -- adds 15% more hitpoints (these are temporary)
LADY -- gold (your level x 1000 -- if level 1, you get 1000 gold; if
level 12, you get 12,000 gold).

I use either HOTT or LADY myself...never tried the other ones.

Make sure you're not at 100% health, and then use "Cool" it will give you 1 charm point.
