TADS, the Text Adventure Development System
Copyright (c) 1988, 1990 by Michael J. Roberts. All rights reserved.
This software is being distributed as shareware. You may use and redistribute
it subject to the usual shareware rules; see LICENSE.DOC for full details.
You are requested to register your copy as described in LICENSE.DOC.
Getting Started
---------------
To get started on the system, install the executables in a directory on your
path, and install the source files (*.T) wherever you please. Compile "Ditch
Day Drifter" by typing:
tc ditch
Be sure that ADV.T is in your current directory; this file is included by
DITCH.T. When you have compiled Ditch, run the game by typing:
tr ditch
Please read DITCH.DOC for information on playing the game. This file also
describes many features of the run-time system, including the parser.
Notes for DOS users
-------------------
On PC's, you may edit command lines with the arrow keys and other standard
editing keys. Review Mode (described in DEEP.DOC) is activated with
function key F1.
Saved games are stored in standard DOS files, by default in the current
directory (the directory from which you start the game), so make sure
you have free disk space before you begin playing.
