====================================================================


    [REQUIREMENTS]
A computer!
LORD version 3.25 or greater, some RHPs require v3.50+.
The L.O.R.D. Cavern v1.3+, some require v1.3a+ or v1.3c+.
====================================================================


    [INSTALLATION]
Unzip this file into your L.O.R.D. Cavern directory.  Follow
the instructions for your version below.

v1.3: Edit EXTRA.CFG and change the second line to match the
      total number of RHPs you install.  Add each filename on
      seperate lines, with no directorys.

v1.3a+: Use SETUP.EXE included with The L.O.R.D. Cavern and use
      option 'E'xtra Setup at the main menu, add each one with
      the '3' command.

v1.4, v1.5, v1.6: Uses same instructions as v1.3a entry.

v1.7: IGM now uses LCSETUP.EXE for setup program name.
      Program otherwise works the same as v1.3a entry indicates.

      L.O.R.D. Cavern v1.7 was released on June 11, 2005.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Here is some information on the versions of LORD, and of L.O.R.D.
Cavern, that each RHP needs.  And what chance it should be at:

The Bats:  By Michael Everett.
   The L.O.R.D. Cavern v1.3c+: Uses @EXPERIENCE@ code.

The Flower Patch:  By Michael Everett.
   v1.3c+:  75% chance.  Uses either @SEARCH@ or @CHARM@ codes.

A Random Hobbit:  By Michael Everett.
   v1.3c+:  85% chance.  Uses EXPERIENCE, CHARM, HIT POINTS Codes.

The Mushroom Patch:  By Michael Everett.
  v1.3c+:  60% chance.  Uses GOLD, SEARCH codes.

The Cavern Women:  Written by James Stubbs. Adopted by
   Donald Tidmore.  Requires LORD Cavern v1.3b+ versions.
   40% chance.  Illustrates NEWS recording technique.
====================================================================


    [UNINSTALLING: LORD Cavern IGM Setup]

v1.3: Edit EXTRA.CFG, changing the second line to the correct number
      of RHPs installed.

v1.3a+: USE SETUP.EXE and option 'E', and then option '4', then
      press the letters of the files to remove.

v1.4, v1.5, and v1.6:  All three use the v1.3a instructions.

v1.7: IGM uses LCSETUP.EXE program now. From Main Menu, select
      menu code 'E', and press the ENTER key.  Then select menu
      code 'L in the same way.  You will be shown a listing of
      installed RHP scripts. To un-install one, you simply press
      the code letter shown beside the script.  To exit screen,
      press the * key.  From Extra Config Menu, use the Save
      option and exit to the main menu.  Use Save option again
      and exit the setup program.

      (* Notes apply also to versions 1.4 and 1.5 of L.O.R.D.
      Cavern except that they use the SETUP.EXE program.
====================================================================


    [USING IT]

Automatically done by The L.O.R.D. Cavern every time it runs,
has a 20% chance of doing an RHP instead of the built in ones.

{06-20-2003}
Script usage advisory:  L.O.R.D. Cavern v1.5B beta+ (or v1.6)
is required if you run LORDCAVE RHP Scripts, and see any stats
go negative.  (V1.7 is the latest release as of Oct. 12, 2005.)

-------------------------
11/09/2003: Using L.O.R.D. Cavern v1.6, there should not be any
problem with RHP scripts causing negative stats.  If you do notice
any, please let me know the applicable details:  Script name, which
Lord stat went negative, the IGM version, and so forth.  Donald.
