Gem Trader LADY Script -- Archived Comment notes removed from
GemTrade.ldy file on June 24, 2002:  By Donald Tidmore
Revised file on July 02.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Notation for Gemtr107.zip file, for archival backup, and public
distriution.  Copy of Gemtrade.ldy (also included named as
gemtr107.ldy) has been tested and debugged using LORD v4.07 beta,
late May 2002 compilations.  The script should work normally
using LORD v4.05 and LORD v4.06.  If it doesn't, let me know.

Gem Trader v1.08 added to archive.  Fully tested and debugged.
After paying 4 Gems to see Special Deals menu, player may buy
an Horse for 16 Gems.  Archive contains Gem Trader v1.07 also
which does not have special deals code.
