Hello, George.

Replying to a message of George Pope to Sean Dennis:

 GP> How's that relevant to the author, who's been around since 4.0x
 GP> something, hasn't he?

Michael has been around since 4.02, IIRC, or since 1998.  Michael made a very 
major change with 4.07 by switching doorkits to rewrite LORD to run on 
different platforms, such as OS/2 and Linux.  However, in doing so, there were 
a few sacrifices, such as speed (since there is a lot of code to go through 
when running the program).  But for some reason, 4.07 is rather notorious for 
being the buggiest version of them all.

 GP> Wasn't Seth's last one 4.00?

It was whenever he sold the rights to the game to Metropolis.

 GP> Then Preslar did the infamous Jennie goof, by fiddling with the code
 GP> just for fun/curiosity, and I think that was 4.06, wasn't it?

No.  Seth did that Jennie "goof", not Michael.  Michael /REMOVED/ the Jennie 
cheat.  Seth had the hots for Jennie Garth, not Michael.  That "Jennie" thing 
was around in the 3.x versions.

 GP> (where typing JENNIE summarily logged you out of the game)
 GP> And wasn't 4.07 the fix, after a while?

It was fixed long before that.

Later,
Sean
