:INTRO
echo INTRODUCTION
ECHO.
ECHO here it is again, the madness that we call lazarus.  we've reached our 8th
ECHO month now, and it seems like we just began.  we're creeping towards groups 
ECHO like apathy in age, which seems really strange.  i still think of us as 
ECHO the new kids on the block (AND I WANNA BE DANNY!@#$%)...
ECHO.

:SORRY
echo APOLOGIES
ECHO.
ECHO first of all, let me apologize to rusted.  he made a font especially for 
ECHO this infofile, and dumbass me accidentally erased it.  so, rusted, i used 
ECHO the joint you and grind king did.  hope that's okay.
ECHO.

:SPECIAL
echo SPECIAL RELEASE
ECHO.
ECHO this past month has been a very busy one for lazarus.  i've been working 
ECHO on a special project, entitled "14 steps to scene domination".  its my 
ECHO attempt at the most complete tutorial the scene has ever seen.  look at 
ECHO 14.ZIP inside this pack AND released seperately, for more.

echo MEMBER NEWS
ECHO.
ECHO we gained 3 members this month, who are:
ECHO.
ECHO DISLOGIC, our dear phone-calling friend, whom many of you might've talked 
ECHO to in the past.
ECHO.
ECHO ODDBALL, who came to us from shade.  on irc, someone stole his nick.  this
ECHO person hangs out in #100%%preteensexpics.  but he's NOT oddball.  i think. =)
ECHO.
ECHO PEDANTIK, neophyte's fellow sysop on superfiend.  he has also been known 
ECHO as genocide kitten, a nick that hails from the days of long crazy handles 
ECHO (like my own).  he's decided to return from an extended ansi vacation and 
ECHO i can't wait to see the results.
ECHO.
pause >nul
ECHO.
ECHO once again, we have lost ZERO members this month, but some have been 
ECHO inactive for awhile, and haven't bothered to contact us.  these people are:
ECHO.
ECHO                        bare bonez
ECHO                        iceage
ECHO                        seraphim
ECHO                        spear
ECHO.
ECHO fellows, if you don't contact us soon, we'll have to do some culling. =)

:IRC
echo IRC CHANNEL
ECHO.
ECHO along with member news, we've been working a lot on our irc channel, going
ECHO through bots like most people go through underwear.  so far, we've had 
ECHO stalin_ and lenin_.  if lenin dies, who knows what the future holds?  marx?
ECHO castro?
ECHO.
ECHO if you're interested in dropping in for a chat, the busiest hours in the 
ECHO channel are late at night.  don't ask me why..
ECHO.
ECHO.

if "%1"=="all" goto WWW
goto END

:WWW
echo WWW PAGE
ECHO.
ECHO also, neophyte has been working away at the lazarus webpage.  its address 
ECHO is:
ECHO                http://www.geocities.com\paris\6522\destiny.html
ECHO.
ECHO we will also have an ftp directory just for lazarus soon.  right now the 
ECHO bugs are just being worked out.  i'll have the address for you next month.

echo CLOSING REMARKS
ECHO.
ECHO hopefully you're glad to see this pack released on time.  actually, i'll 
ECHO have it done about a minute before the 2nd, but that can't be helped, its 
ECHO a national holiday today. =)
ECHO.
ECHO next month, expect the same great things and good attitudes from lazarus.
ECHO or is it the other way around?  you figure it out.
ECHO.
ECHO                                                          hennifer
