This game is not playable on it's own.  It requires TADS by Mike Roberts,
downloadable from ifarchive.org .  Load Beet.GAM into the TADS run-time
and away you go.  "The Beetmonger's Journal" supports HTML-Tads with some
fancy bells-and-whistles.  However, I have taken pains to make sure that
DOS users can play the game fully.  Rest assured that there is no vital
information hidden in the HTML version, but it does look prettier.  The
game also looks prettier in HTML-TADS, rather than WinTADS, for obvious
reasons.

The game has been tested on TADS runtimes of versions 2.5.0 and later.
If you run anything earlier, "you takes your chances."
