- This is a port for the Amiga of the UN*X version of the Colossal Cave
- adventure game posted on the net some time ago. This version has been
- around for quite some time, but I never got around to posting it on the
- net here. To the code written by David Platt and Ken Wellsch, I've
- added Amiga speech capability. This uses the translator.library, so it
- may pronounce a few things strangely, but is generally understandable.
- Speech is sent to the narrator.device using SendIO(), so you can type while
- it's speaking, however, as the speech buffer is limited in size, long
- text passages will have a pause in them. Speech can be turned off. This
- distribution contains UUEncoded program, icon, compiled database, and a
- few associated files, plus an Amiga that will install the whole thing on a
- bootable disk for a system with either 256K or 512K (the 512K version runs
- the database from RAM:).
