A note on High Energy Software ------------------------------ High Energy Software formerly distributed TADS as a shareware system, but is no longer in business. Mike Roberts, the developer of TADS, is now maintaining and distributing the system as freeware. We have made an effort to remove references from these files to High Energy Software and its former telephone and other contact information, since none of those numbers or addresses are still in service. If we inadvertantly left any such references intact, please disregard them, since they're oversights. Contacting the Author --------------------- For contact information, please visit www.tads.org.
