-LORD FP is Legend of the Red Dragon rebuilt in Free Pascal. It is a line-by-line port of **lord.js**, Deuce's JavaScript LORD 5.02 that ships with Synchronet BBS, so it plays like LORD and like lord.js, with a number of lord.js bugs fixed (see [[differences]]). One source tree builds two versions, and [[lordsrv:start|LORD Server]] uses a third build for Windows.+LORD FP is Legend of the Red Dragon rebuilt in Free Pascal.

One source tree builds three versions: DOS, Linux and Windows. [[lordsrv:start|LORD Server]] uses the Windows build too.
