Cool, thanks Henry!
January 18, 2016 at 6:03 pm #270981AnonymousInactiveI want to apologize for the delay on my end. I have been fighting the evil demons of technology for a few days trying to get the files up. Turns out, there is a specific subset of Infernal Lord that locks a file size just a little bit too big to upload it. I had uncovered an ancient voodoo ritual to banish the offending spirit. It including sacrificing a whole chicken (fortunately, a KFC bucket works in a pinch). Just as I was about to enact the ritual (which would have probably taken the last shred of my sanity with it). Pedro and Henry stepped in with their near-deific tech powers and incanted a strange spell (I swear, the magic words were “oh, you just wanted to do this?”) and saved me.
I am going back to play with my Bouncy ball tied to a paddle…much more my speed.
January 18, 2016 at 8:10 pm #270985AnonymousInactiveBack in the mid 1980s my best friend tried to explain how MS-DOS worked. I listened to him for a few minutes as my eyes slowly glazed over. I said then and I say now that stuff is a form of magic, evil magic at that.
Mage the Awakening had it right when they said that gremlin basically live in your computer. 
Seriously though thanks to everyone for their hard work on this.

Explaining MS-DOS is simple. It was a drunken grad student’s weekend project (they procrastinated) to implement Unix clean-room style (seriously, it seems like DOS half-implemented a bunch of Unix and made changes for absolutely no reason and disallowed things just because it wasn’t easy to implement). Yes, I know DOS really came from CPM (which I don’t know much about). We would all have much better computers/software now if Unix had been used instead of DOS as the basis for PC OS (there’s a reason why my next laptop will be a Mac (I haven’t bought a new personal laptop since before Mac was Unix-based)).
Back to Arcanis, thanks all for uploading the modules.
