    announcement but it was ignored since it didn't apply at the time. Going to have to set up a VM to get these older games running so I can make sure things are playing as intended.

    Been a blast messing with this stuff again.

    i think you're the only igm author i've seen in a long time aside from
    the weapons of war igm author.

    he had a very interesting readme file.

    My main issue now is that I have no way to run my original IGMs to check features.. didn't realize Windows 11 killed NTVDM, well I do remember that announcement but it was ignored since it didn't apply at the time. Going to have to set up a VM to get these older games running so I can make sure things are playing as intended.

    most of us run our bbses in a 32bit windows environment or dosemu on linux.

    Well.... not really true. Those of us on Linux may run our 16-bit DOS
    doors in dosemu, but we don't "run our bbses" in dosemu. We run the BBS
    in Linux.

    LORD.EXE does run in NTVDMx64 (e.g. on Windows 11) just fine. http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:win#win64

    That will simplify things, thanks for the tip!
