History
- 2006: Initial text locations were identified in the disk images.
- 2007-07-16: The active project phase began with technical assistance and a script dump.

Preservation notes
The recovered website contains slayers_pc98.zip, but inspection found six complete-looking FDI floppy-disk images rather than an ordinary patch archive. That recovered file must remain private and must not be republished without a separate provenance and rights review. The public page should link to the established patch record instead.
