IMPORTANT NOTE
--------------

This archive contains the machine-independent versions of the game.
That means that the .GAM file enclosed here will run on any machine
that has a TADS 2.1.0 (or later) run-time program.  It also means,
however, that the version of the run-time for *your* system is not
included in this archive, and you will have to get it separately
(probably from the same place you got this archive).

If you're now extremely annoyed that you can't play the game you just
downloaded, we apologize!  But there are simply too many machines
running TADS now for us to make an archive that will support all of
them "out of the box."  Also, packaging the games this way saves space,
since we don't have to include the run-time program in each archive.

Once you have the run-time program for your system (usually called "tr"
or "tadsr"), you can run the game by typing

	tadsr <game>

where <game> is the filename of the TADS .GAM file.

If you have access to the Internet, you can download the latest version
of TADS for your system from ftp.gmd.de:

	if-archive/programming/tads/*.tads2exe.*

This site is mirrored on wuarchive.wustl.edu in pub/mirrors/if-archive.
