README for phone.t

phone.t is a TADS module for implementing telephones. It basically allows
you to talk to people on the phone as if they're in the same room.
Current version is 1.17 (ALPHA!) unless I've forgotten to update the README
lately.

phone.t is (hopefully) available at ftp.gmd.de and mirrors. It should also be
at http://voth.hec.utah.edu/~karger/download/phone.tar.gz

phone.t requires TADS v2.5.1 or later.

phone.t depends on Suzanne Britton's chatter.t module, which expands NPC's
conversational ability. The latest version of chatter.t is at
http://www.igs.net/~tril/if/chatter. chatter.t should appear at ftp.gmd.de
(and mirrors) at some point as well.
