ARUN - README This archive contains the freely distributable parts of the Alan Adventure Language System. The system is a tool to make it very easy to create text adventures also known as interactive fiction. The complete system consists of a compiler, 'alan', and an interpreter, 'arun'. The compiler is *not* included as it is not freely distributable. This archive contains the following files: README - this text INFO - how to accquired the complete Alan distribution arun - executable interpreter jungle.alan - source for the jungle example jungle.acd jungle.dat dungeon.alan - source for the Dungeon prelude dungeon.acd dungeon.dat To run the examples unpack the archive and issue the following command arun jungle or arun dungeon This package, including the interpreter, is freely distributable. Game files are compatible across all supported platforms (including the handling of multi-national characters) so you should be able to run any games produced. Game files produced by versions prior to 2.5 are no longer compatible and need recompilation. Version 2.5 game files are incompatible but *can* be run by the v2.6 interpreter (the v2.6 compiler can not produce v2.5 games, however!). Documentation and the compiler is available on request through email from alan-request@softlab.se For more information on distribution read the INFO file. Or contact thoni@softlab.se for alternatives. Happy Adventuring! The ThoNi & GorFo Adventure Factories
