Perdition's Flames - TADS Source Code
Copyright (c) 1994, 1996 by Michael J. Roberts.
All Rights Reserved.


This is the source code for Perdition's Flames, a TADS game.  We're
distributing this source code as a tool for TADS game authors to learn
about TADS.

You must have TADS, the Text Adventure Development System, in order to
compile and run this game.  You should be able to obtain TADS from the
same place that you obtained this file.

If you're only interested in playing Perdition's Flames, you don't
need this source code; there's a separate archive available
(FLAMES.ZIP) that contains the compiled version of the game, so you
can play it directly without having to set up the TADS compiler, as
well as the user's manual and hint book for the game (in TeX source
code format).
