If you want new versions of Lord igms, or rte200 patches of several dozen old ones,
check my Lord IGMs Page.  http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/camelot6.htm

Unless you are already running it, you will probably want to check out Lord v4.06
and v4.07 beta, which has to be installed on top of v4.06.  You can get
copy of lord406.zip from the www.nightfallgames.com/files/ web-site, from
its Programs
directory.  You are supposed to get Lord betas directly from Michael Preslar, and
do so in this fashion.  Write email to e_maus{at}covingtononline.com . 
Message subject: Send Me Lord.  (If you want betas of Lord II, use
"Send me Lord2".
For beta of Planets:TEOS, you would use "Send me TEOS". ) 
Content of message is not important since messages are processed by a robot
mail program.  You'll get the beta archive - either betalord.zip,
betalrd2.zip, or betateos.zip within
an hour.  The robot system mails out requested betas at the end of each hour.

If you want to beta test Lord for Windows beta or Lord for Linux beta - known as
Lord/32 and Lord/X, you will need to specifically ask for them by writing to Michael
Preslar at mpreslar{at}mailcity.com, or mike{at}lordlegacy.com.  Neither one can
run igms yet.

For details on what has happened in the Lord realm since you last were part of it,
you can read issues of Castle Camelot Lord Authors Newsletter on my
web-site. Current issue is #14, still in development, located at 
http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/ccigm-14.htm.  It's been in
development for over a year, but is mostly fully current.  I get
sidetracked from newsletter work
by my Lord programming work/hobby.

If you'll provide a list of the Lord igms you currently use, I or someone
will be able
to tell specifically which ones are supported today or are classified as abandoned.
In some cases, the author is still around, but has lost the program's source code.
