   * **LORD 4.07 / 4.08 Beta**: the codes depend on the sysop name and the BBS name. (The 2009 patch shows itself as "4.08 Beta".)
-The current version is **1.2** (8 November 2026).
+The current version is **1.3** (9 November 2026). It fixes the LORD 4.06 codes: those from 1.1 and 1.2 were wrong, so if you used one of them for LORD 4.06, make a new set.

 LORDCFG.EXE 4.06 only checks that the five numbers fit together:
-**Code 5 = Code 1 + Code 2 + Code 3 + Code 4 + 29**
+**Code 5 = Code 1 + Code 2 + Code 3 + (Code 4 / 2) + 29**
-Codes 1 to 4 must each be from 0 to 10000, and code 5 must be at least 1000, so the first four must add up to at least 971. This was read from the checking code in LORDCFG.EXE 4.06 itself. LORDKG's random codes 1 to 4 are each from 1000 to 9999, which always passes.
+Code 4 counts at half its value, rounded down: 6052 counts as 3026. Codes 1 to 4 must each be from 0 to 10000, and code 5 must be at least 1000. This was read from the checking code in LORDCFG.EXE 4.06 itself, and LORD.EXE 4.06 checks the codes again the same way each time it starts. LORDKG's random codes 1 to 4 are each from 1000 to 9999, which always passes.

+The same places also have **LORD Keygen** (''lord-keygen_0.1.1_amd64.deb''), a separate desktop app for Ubuntu and Debian (amd64) that makes LORD 4.06 codes only. You pick the first four numbers with sliders or at random, it works out the fifth, and it can check a code you type. Install it with ''sudo apt install ./lord-keygen_0.1.1_amd64.deb''. Version 0.1.1 has the same LORD 4.06 fix as LORDKG 1.3: 0.1.0 counted all of the fourth number, so its codes were refused. LORD Keygen is free software under the GNU GPL (version 2 or later), and the package includes its Rust source.
