IMPORTANT NOTE:
---------------

This archive contains the machine-independent version of the game.
That means that the .GAM file enclosed here will run on any machine
that has a TADS 2 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 is 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

	tr <game>

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


Internet
--------

If you have internet FTP access, you can obtain the TADS run-time for
your system from ftp.gmd.de:

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

The IF archive is also mirrored on wuarchive.wustl.edu in 

	mirrors/if-archive
