There are several "skin" packages out there, like one that will take the
action from the forest to Egypt, but a lot of the prompts are apparently
hard coded (so, when you go to the desert, it still says "The Forest" on
the prompts).

I have not really noticed spelling errors, but I do notice there are some places
(like when you get inside Olivia's head, I think) where there are certainly
screen glitches -- the previous screen is not cleared off, and
the current screen prints over it. That might be something that could be fixed,
I have not checked to see if it is in a file or hard-coded.
Unfortunately, I never really got into LORD (and therefore never installed
or registered it) until 4.07 when the keys changed so I am using the buggy
version. ;)
