  Version 1.2

  This file is part of TADS:  The Text Adventure Development System.
  Please see the file LICENSE.DOC (which should be part of the TADS

  on reaching High Energy Software, the developers of TADS.

  This file provides some simple definitions for objects and functions
  that are required by TADS, but not defined in the file "adv.t".
  The definitions in std.t are suitable for use while a game is
  being written, but you will probably find that you will want to
  customize the definitions in this file for your game when the
  game is nearing completion.  This file is intended to help you
  get started more quickly by providing basic definitions for these
  functions and objects.

  When you decide to customize these functions and objects for
  your game, be sure to remove the inclusion of std.t to avoid
  duplicate definitions.
