Last Updated: 30th January 2004
This page contains a number of utilities for the busy DM. The aim eventually is to allow each of the separate utilities to talk to each other. Please e-mail me if you have any comments about these utilities or suggestions for improvements. Those who do contact me will be notified of any new utilities and upgrades. Each utility includes on-line help. When run for the first time they will insert a information line within your win.ini file so that other iz products can recognize thier presence.
Some of these utilities are written in Microsoft Visual Basic Version 3. If you do not already have it you will need to download the VB Runtime library. The others are written in Delphi Version 4. This provides for smaller downloads in most cases.
A number of people have requested changes and or bug fixes:
In the weather generator people like Daniel Llewellyn have requested the option to change the month lengths and weeks. while Matt Fahl would like the ability to add new monsters to the room generator and change the base temperatures for the months. On the bug side Mike has had a problem printing.
I will try and get these things implemented as soon as I can.
Other ideas I have had are;

found by the utility. Monster encounters can also be generated in a form that can be loaded
into a spreadsheet or wordprocessor.

iz Generator must have been run at least once so that an entry exists in your

carried by the monster or in its lair.
