Stos Adventure Creator v1.03
Welcome to the wonderful adventure creation, this powerful
program will enable you to create adventure games in Stos Basic
with great ease and very quickly.
There have been three versions of Sac since its release, so I
will tell you about each one.
Sac (Version 1.01)
The very first release of Sac and proberly still floating around
in some librarys. It had three problems, first the editor
program could only understand a sentence of two words at any one
time. The second problem is that it saved its data as a .Var
file which saved loads of varibles not needed in the editor
program which means the saved file was massive and took up
valuable memory that could have been used for other purposes.
The final problem was that because the creator saved its data as
.Var files, created adventures could not be compiled as the
compiler does'nt like the 'save"xxx.var" command.
Sac (Version 1.02)
This was the second release and was much inproved. The editor
program could understand sentences like....
Get the lamp and light it then go north.
The creator and editor program had been compiled to work better
and faster and the creator saved its files out as .Adv meaning
that it only saved the inputed data making a much smaller data
file saving a lot more memory. The Sac manual was also
completely re-written and added to for better use.
Sac (Version 1.03)
The latest version, while using version 1.02 I discovered a
nasty bug which destroyed the data file to St Brides. So a new
option to clear data from the creator was added and also when
you choose to load a new file, it clears all the data it holds
to hold the new file so theres no way it can corrupt any other
files. I also entered an error trapping routine to check if the
disk is write protected and at the time of writing, I think I
can safely say that the Sac is completely debugged.
So, as you are a registed user, you get all kinds of goodies
including two extra games called Haunted House and Solomons
Quest. You also get a personal registration number and the full
Stos source code to Sac so you can see how its written.
If your disk should somehow get damaged during use, then send it
back to me and I will replace it for a £1.50 handling fee.
I suggest that you make a back up of this disk and use that in
case something goes wrong, but please don't give it away as Sac
took over a year to reach its current state and low
registrations could stop other creators being written.
If you have any enquiries, either about Sac or Stos then write
to me at the following address and I'll try to put you right.

When you write games with Sac, why not send them to PD librarys,
I don't expect any payment from them so you can do what you wish
with them. If you come up with anything special then why not
send it to me, you never know, it could end up being sold with
the latest version of Sac.
Have fun.............. Deano
