Subject: Fantasy Adventure Engine version 0.1
Hi All,
Well, here it is, Fantasy Adventure Engine version 0.1. It's
not much right now, but I feel like it's a good core program
to build on.
The next step will be a fairly major rewrite of the program.
With Barry's help, I will be changing the way I am presently
working with my data over to his Array system. I will also be
incorporating the conlib functions that should improve the
way commands our input to the program.
When this is done and I've added a few more bells and whistles,
I'll post another copy to the list.
I'll try to keep you informed as to what I'm doing and where
I'm at with the program.
Please check out what I've done so far and let me know what you
think. Suggestions and comments welcomed.
Later
Jessie

A badly structured program in a SELECT block can cause a compiler crash.

The module format itself is unchanged however I will mail you a copy of the
program and sources directly for you to see before I put it on this mailing
list.
