Hello!  Since you're reading this, I assume that you've just downloaded
The DOS or Win95/98 version of "Everybody Loves a Parade", copyright
(c) 1997, 1999 by yours truly.  Thanks!

You can also play "Everybody Loves a Parade" on different systems by
downloading the platform-independent game file (Parade.gam) from
ftp.gmd.de in:

/if-archive/games/tads

The .gam file can then be run on the appropriate TADS run-time system,
Which can be downloaded from ftp.gmd.de in:

/if-archive/programming/tads/executables

The TADS run-time is available for Macintosh, Unix, DOS, Windows, OS/2,
Amiga, and a bunch of other systems I never heard of.

Enjoy!  Send any comments to sandifer@crmse.sdsu.edu.

PS  Zero Sum Game, my second IF game, is also available.  It is listed
on the IF archive as zeroWin95.zip and zeroDOS.zip in /if-archive/games/pc.
