Note: Apparently someone decided to delete the entire disk. I had a recovery
|
||
program that would undelete the stuff and was going to run it on this disk
|
||
to recover the deleted information. Unfortunately, I Accidently ran the disk
|
||
through the wrong program which erased the first character of each line.
|
||
You might note that some lines appear twice that is because they were properly
|
||
deleted lines, but since the undelete undeletes all lines, even the properly
|
||
deleted lines become visible.
|
||
Also noticable on this disk for the first time is the notice at the end
|
||
indictaing the total number of lines on the disk. With this disk I changed
|
||
the archive method. I used to just log on to BWMS and list the entire disk,
|
||
capturing the contents with my communications program. With this disk, I
|
||
changed to using a CP/M program to read the disk and copy the contents to
|
||
a CP/M file. This change was triggered by the need to undelete the disk.

69 Sunrise at sea, on a clear morning, is surely the one referred to in the
|
||
70 ong. All the world does indeed seem to be waiting for that instant when the
|
||
71 irst rays of the sun spill over the horizon, spreading out to embrace the
|
||
72 ew day. Up since first light, the ancient practitioner had taken his star
|
||
73 ights, adjusted his reckoned position, and settled down on deck with a cup
|
||
74 f freshly brewed 'Ethiopian Mocha Harrar', awaiting the morning spectacular.
|
||
75 He would just have to imagine that famous cream that the piper speaks of!)
|
||
76 e always enjoyed the satisfaction of using simple instruments and the
|
||
77 nowledge in his own head, no high-tek toys on this craft. At the urgent
|
||
78 nsistence of some of his friends, he had taken the multi-phase transmuter
|
||
79 long. Anyway, when out of sight of land, only the communication function
|
||
80 orked, and not too well at that. He supposed it had something to do with
|
||
81 he fact it operates on the emanations of the collective consciousness. In
|
||
82 ny event, lately events at the Backwater Inn had been leaking through the
|
||
83 ransmuter. Flickering images and sound that faded in and out made it hard
|
||
84 o discern what was happening (not uncommon even on a clear day).
|
||
85 Alex's plight of being caught in the St. Helen wind-vacuum was a fate
|
||
86 e could identify with. Once in a previous incarnation he had skippered a
|
||
87 oat in a race called the 'six-pak'. (Heaven only knows why--they must have
|
||
88 onsumed several cases during the race.) He remembered that when the wind
|
||
89 id blow near St. Helen it blew straight down. The only place that was more
|
||
90 emorable for such phenomena was south-west of Guadalupe. Becalmed in the
|
||
91 ee of Guadalupe again, but that's another story...

95 s I made my way to the camp site, Scout following closely behind me, I heard the sound of something diving at
|

96 igh speed. FLOOM ! What in the world was that? Looking behind me, I was forced to laugh. My brave steed
|
||
97 as attempting to hide behind a Ponderosa Pine seedling. After I stopped laughing, I wondered what a Ponderosa
|
||
98 ine seedling was doing here, certainly not its native habitat. Off to one side, I saw a stone marker and went
|

99 ver to read it.

115 Hey, has everyone seen this sign ?" I cried. No one had. I looked around me and saw a holly tree, a cyprus,
|
||
116 banyan, a palm (not really a tree, I thought, but the idea was good), and a whole collection of trees that
|
||
117 ould not grow in these parts, all healthy and straight and tall. It was obvious that many had come and gone and
|
||
118 ot returned for their tree. I began to fear for the lives of our band of adventurers. Taking a small twig
|
||
119 rom my belt (the same twig that I had snatched as I fell at the Inn so long ago.) I planted it carefully,
|
||
120 atered it, and knelt by it to pray. Finishing my prayer, I heard a mournful tune played on what sounded like a
|
||
121 andolin. I wandered off in the direction the sound came, and saw a pleasant campfire, along with the main
|
||
122 ncampment of the group.

128 HOOOOSSHH!!! The Manticore swept by, nearly taking a piece of Milchar with him. a Power Word: Stun hampered the

129 east for a moment, and Milchar remembered how he had taken care of the last Manticore... "GHRED! NYTOL! FYGOX! ZEATT!!
|
||
130 , Milchar cried. The Manticore, shrinking rapidly, flew off as he was being chased by a nearby bird...
|
||
131 t that moment, Milchar heard the Friar call out something about a sign. Walking briskly, he found the Friar and some
|
||
132 thers reading sign made of Adamant. "Ahh, the Legend of the Tree. I have planted two trees here, but took them back
|
||
133 o my tower. I would think that our camp near here would be safer than it is. I fear something is amiss. We had

138 ilariously funny. There was another target... Another gout of Cold Emerald Force rained down on the unfortunate soul.
|

139 e didn't feel much. Narfaal turned his attention to the construction of the hold, and saw that it would be finished
|

140 omorrow morn. "Good, I shall have a use for it when those bungling upstarts arrive. Hargo! Begin the preparations

143 UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
|
||
144 , God. It's happened again. It all started when my Aunt Dorothy (known as
|
||
145 otty for reasons soon to become apparent) taught me about soul-travel. She
|
||
146 ould get me to concentrate. Really concentrate. And we would go ANYWHERE.
|
||
147 e started out doing hard stuff-going to other galaxies, meeting bizarre life
|
||
148 orms, but that was too strange and uncomfortable for me, so I started going
|
||
149 o just Disneyland, the Flaming Gorge, and to this place in Nepal where I
|
||
150 eally liked the light. Dorothy said she got the idea from watching the
|
||
151 izard of Oz because that girl was Dorothy, too. Unfortunately, Dorothy died
|
||
152 actually, I think she went off with a boyfriend somewhere over the rainbow)
|
||
153 efore she taught me how to control this stuff. So whenever I'm really ATTEN=
|
||
154 ING to something, I suddenly find myself somewhere else. Like during the
|
||
155 ob interview when I was whisked off to Afghanistan. It's not easy learning
|
||
156 o fight Russians, speak Pushtu and ride a camel in a suit and high heels
|

157 me, not the camel) And now, while balancing on a ladder, cleaning the gutter,
|
||
158 eeping branches out of my face, and leaning and reaching just SO...I'm
|
||
159 onfronted with a medieval-looking bunch on horse- and UNICORN-back, with
|
||
160 ssorted musical instruments planting a tree. Are they hostile? Do they speak

171 The piper felt the air growing cool on his seat astride the Pegasus. The
|
||
172 arty seemed to have gathered on the edge of a bleak plain, near an isolated
|
||
173 roup of trees. Leaning forward, the piper saw that Milchar, somewhat isolated,
|
||
174 as in trouble! Urging his steed to greater speed, he prepared to attack just
|
||
175 s the monster shrank and dwindled down unti it was no threat. Urging the
|
||
176 egaus upward, the piper traded speed for altitude, and flew upward until
|
||
177 he party was almost indistinguishable below him. At what must have been
|
||
178 early a thousand feet, the piper and his steed broke into the beams of the
|
||
179 etting sun, and those of the party below must have seen a rather spectacular
|
||
180 ight as the white wings of the great Pegasus were painted with the brilliant
|
||
181 rimson of the setting sun. Locking his nknees around the feathered bases
|
||
182 f the giant wings supporting him and his steed, the piper inflated his pipes,
|
||
183 nd played the haunting tune called "A Highland Lullaby."
|
||
184 At the conclusion of the tune, the piper glided in silence, then smelling
|
||
185 he sharp pungent smell of wood smoke looked back and saw that the party had
|
||
186 ighted a fire and was preparing for their dinner. During his period of
|
||
187 meditation" (all right, daydreaming at altitude) he and his steed had strayed
|
||
188 uite far from the party, and diving out of the last rays of the sun, they
|
||
189 egan a great sweeping turn that would eventually bring them back to the party.
|
||
190 carcely had they left the brilliant rays, than the piper's attention was
|
||
191 rawn to a small tent, pitched high on a bare, wind-swept ridge with a
|
||
192 amiliar-appearing figure before it. The Pegasus stalled in mid-air and took
|
||
193 early 800 feet to recover, then sidelsipped down to a landing near the lonely
|
||
194 igure. "L'Homme!" the piper exclamed. "What are you doing here? The last
|
||
195 e had heard of you, you had joined the NET, and were somewhere with some
|

196 trange religious cult --- But never mind that now, we are off on another

|

201 ith their upcoming fight againt that horrid winged creature, L'homme wasn't
|
||
202 eally paying much attention to anything that might approach from above. A
|
||
203 hriek broke the still air, and the evil looking creature appeared to fly
|
||
204 ith great speed away from the hill the party had landed at. "I guess I can
|

205 low down a bit. They didn't need my help after all.", thought L'homme to

206 imself. "I should have known there would be some omnipotent character over

209 ider he could identify. "Piper!", L'homme exclaimed. "Long time no see!"

210 he piper was an old friend from L'homme's Inn days. After dispensing with the

211 sual amenities and a brief history of the past few months, Piper asked L'homme

212 f he would like to join the party in their quest to the Amber Valley.

218 Yes. Tis true", L'homme replied with a certain amount of remorse in his voice.

283 From the swirling eddys of his unconscious mind the picture framed
|

284 tself with almost painful crispness. A moment in time so perfectly captured,
|

285 o infinite in detail, he awoke startled. The smell and taste of the sea
|

286 trong in his senses. Proping himself up on one arm he tried to remember the
|
||
287 hought that had already begun to fade from his mind. He had been at sea,
|
||
288 t dawn, closing his eyes he could hear the creak of the rudderpost as he
|
||
289 uided the craft over the swells. Bearing off as he went into the trough of
|
||
290 ach wave and stiffning up as he reached the crest. The luff of the sails as

291 he cycle repeated itself. A dry ship he thought to himself.

||
292 Now fully awake he turned his eyes east, watching the morning light
|
||
293 ilter through the trees to his campsite. Listening to the brook that ran
|
||
294 earby he felt thirst. Taking the first swallow from his canteen he could
|
||
295 lmost taste the faint remains of coffee on his palate. Strange he thought,
|
||
296 e had forsaken that drink for a far more palatable brew years ago. Yet the
|
||
297 aste somehow pleased him.
|
||
298 His route lay to the west. At least he thought as far as the bridge he
|
||
299 ad seen from his refuge on the mountain so long ago. Raising his rucksack to
|
||
300 is back he began to follow the trace of the stream. The rowan staff leading
|
||
301 nd feet following. His greatcoat still held the treasures the river had
|
||
302 ielded. Reaching his free hand into the pocket he aimlessly palmed the
|
||
303 atin ribbon. I can be there by nightfall he thought. Falling into his
|
||
304 rregular gait his thoughts turned to the dream.

349 "I'm going to fly like an eagle...."

358 ikey: howcum BW sometimes echo too few (or rarely, too MANY) bacspaces? If I

|

374 ... well, let's just say that the results would NOT be pretty.

375 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BARD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

376 ********************************************************::
|
||
377 ard: BWMS doesn't handle backing up over control characters at all well,
|
||
378 his is because the backspace was patched in much later. It use to only
|
||
379 se the Rubout (Delete) character. The problem is that the backspace will
|
||
380 ot check the character it is going back over, thus since it is non visable
|
||
381 t will erase the previous character that just happens to be on the screen.
|
||
382 lso of course, if you are printing with CC N it only erases half of the
|
||
383 ontrol character since it doesn't know about the preceeding '^'. It's all
|
||
384 uite messy really.
|
||
385 o person asking about the missing lines, it is simple, someone erased them.
|
||
386 gain to Bard: Are the missing lines in question the ones you are referring to?
|
||
387 f so, they can be recovered, but I don't have the equipment to do so here.
|
||
388 It requires that I take the disk to work and undelete the sectors under a
|
||
389 ebugger on my cpm system.) Even recovered, it has the disadvantage of
|
||
390 oosing the first character of each line. This crazy system writes a FF to
|
||
391 he first character posistion to indicate that the line was deleted.
|
||
392 o spell check: It looks like I'm holding about even. Yawn.....
|
||
393 ard one final time: Do you want me to try to recover it? It will take a
|
||
394 ay or so to do it, including removing this disk from BWMS to take it to
|
||
395 ork to do the cleaning, but it can be done. (Maybe someone else has a
|

396 ownloaded copy they can upload back?)

402 s Milchar recovered from the strain of spell-casting, he decided to go and eat the wonderful meal prepared by the
|
||
403 riar. He worried more and more about the attack, and grew quite anxious. He wondered where Piper and Bard had gone
|
||
404 ff to. A quick mind-scan didn't helpmatters any. Restless, Milchar began working on a Key for the Nor-gate.
|
||
405 e went to his pack and drew out a small golden-colored ball of metal. Humming to himself, Milchar molded it like
|
||
406 lay into the form of a small staff. "Ball of Clay, as I go, enlarge, lengthen, harden, grow!", Milchar said. An
|
||
407 rgent glow enveloped the ball, ate at it, tore at its fiber. In a chaotic display of color, the ball grew and formed
|
||
408 tself into a finely made staff. "Not my best work, but it will have to do... it only has to last for a little while."
|
||
409 ith that, Milchar went to his tent to sleep.

413 Everything is prepared, Master. There are Vesta-Cannons stationed at four points along the perimeter. Their range is

414 ore than enough to reach the gate."

445 The piper quickly helped L'Homme Sans Parity break his camp and roll his
|
||
446 elongings into a compact package. After lashing the package to the back of
|
||
447 he Pegasus, L'Homme and the piper mounted the winged horse-like creature.
|
||
448 he takeoff had a few moments of rather extreme concern. Both the piper and
|
||
449 'Homme expressed some rather improbable juxatpositions of anatomical wonders
|
||
450 nd invented several new prayers to, as yet, unheard of gods. As they rose
|
||
451 lowly, the piper turned his head and spoke to L'Homme.
|
||
452 "How do you like this transportation?" Suddenly they felt a *bump* and the
|
||
453 andscape seemed to melt beneath them and crawl into a new configuration
|
||
454 efore freezing in place. The piper clipped off an oath. They had the party
|
||
455 n sight, the odor of dinner in their nostrils and all had changed. Where
|
||
456 he party had stood, sat, and layed, a group of stones and stumps with one
|
||
457 r two fallen logs formed a clearing in a forest.
|
||
458 "Hang on!" The piper guided their heavily laden steed in a tight circle,
|
||
459 hen retraced their path through the sky. They felt another *bump* and the
|
||
460 andscape crawled back into its previous configuration.
|
||
461 "I've known about air pockets," the piper remarked to L'Homme after a
|
||
462 un-filled landing, "but don't know just what that last little experience
|
||
463 as. Perhaps we have discovered a new phenomenon -- the reality pocket."
|
||
464 The two men quickly unloaded the steed, and walked over to join the others
|
||
465 n their dinner. The piper called to the rest, "L'Homme has returned and
|
||
466 ould like to join us on the trip to the Ruby Valley! He needs transportation
|
||
467 s he has been separated from his vehicle, and that would not be useable on
|

468 his trip -- Milchar could strain something trying to move an inanimate object

587 een gone for several day, (computer malfunctioning...still flakey..);
|
||
588 hile playing catch-up on the top of this drive, I noticed that lines
|
||
589 8-145 are missing also. I don't know what all was lost, but I did see
|
||
590 hat the beginning of Reluctant Voyager's entry is missing.
|
||
591 am willing to help (Leonard) with re-writing BWMS. I'm pretty good at
|
||
592 -80, and 8080 is just a step down from there. As far as what to include
|
||
593 n a new version, I'll have to ponder that a while. Generally, I like the
|
||
594 ay it is -- nice and simple. Some sort of message protection would
|
||
595 e nice, though. As I said, a subject to think about.
|
||
596 'homme: had them remove the old chip and put in the new. Absolutely
|
||
597 O difference. Either the other chip is the problem, or...?
|
||
598 Now I wish I had had him replace both, since I had them both. Didn't think
|
||
599 f it until I found out the problem was still there. Sigh...
|
||
600 new computer sounds better and better...)

603 o Dawn: Why does this board have to be like all of the rest? Why can't
|
||
604 eople be individuals and show thier creativity? I bet you wouldn't mind
|
||
605 eeing this turn into a NetWorks program, your just that type of person,
|
||
606 ne of them. This is the only board left were you can be creative and talk
|
||
607 bout a wide variety of things. I think it is great that this board is still
|
||
608 unning after such a time.

611 L'homme, my good friend! It has indeed been a long time! I'm afraid that trying to move your car here would send
|
||
612 e into a coma. I'm willing to let you ride behind me on Drinny, if you like. He won't mind."
|
||
613 ith that, Milchar helped break camp and saddled Drinny up. Someone had found a horse for L'homme (borrowed?), so
|
||
614 is offer was needless. The party continued on its journey.
|
||
615 he country surrounding them sapped their strength to look at it, dreary and grey. The horses began to move faster on
|
||
616 heir own, as if knowing something the humans didn't. At this new pace, the flats were soon left behind and they began
|
||
617 o climb the foothills.
|
||
618 The Nor-Gate is on the south slope of this mountain. It is not far now, only a few minutes. And just in time, too,
|
||
619 t is due to open in about a half of an hour. All ready? Let us go!"
