I've noticed a "problem" with several of the IGMs done by Donald
Tidmore.

While all of his IGMs are freeware, and some have beta releases, the
IGMs work fine, and display fine under a regular Telnet logon. However,
under Synchronet, if you use the FTelnet link (to access the BBS via a
web browser), when Legend Of The Red Dragon goes to load the selected
IGM's, it sends the statement ** HOLD ON ** with part of that statement "flashing".

This causes every screen of the IGMs in question to "constantly flash
on and off", until that particular IGM is exited. So, I had to remove
them from both L.O.R.D. 4.06 and L.O.R.D. 4.07 on the BBS. I decided to
go with L.O.R.D. 4.06, due to the fact that there were display problems
with several of the ANSI screens in the LORDTXT.DAT file.

Now, if you don't have or use the FTelnet option on your BBS, there
shouldn't be a problem (I could not detect one using the MTel Telnet
client).

The IGMs of his that WORK, but they DO FLASH under FTelnet, are:

* Doofus The Gnome
* L.O.R.D. Gambling Casino
* The Gateway
* The Gem Trader
* L.O.R.D. Holidays
* Kiteria's L.O.R.D. Bank
* The Lost Traders Travern
* The Love Shack II
* The Nice Hag
* The Outlands Tavern
* The Pawn Shop
* The Ruined Castle

The IGMs of his that DO work (and do NOT flash under FTelnet) are:

* Hiding In the Shadows
* The L.O.R.D. Cavern
* The Vullage Hut
* Violet's Cottage II
* The Forest Outhouse
* The Changeling

The other IGMs I have (none of them flash under FTelnet) are:
