FrobTADS 1.2.3
--------------
This is a port of FrobTADS (Nikos Chantziaras) to the Atari ST and compatible systems. FrobTADS is a text-only implementation of TADS, the Text Adventure Development System. The program plays both TADS 2 and 3 games and is more up-to-date than the old TADS 2 interpreter for the ST.

You will find a console application and a GEM version of the full interpreter. "V4E" is the version for the FireBee. There is also a TADS2.TTP - this is a version of the interpreter that only supports TADS 2 adventures.

TADS 3 is a complex engine for interactive fiction, giving authors a high degree of freedom. Unfortunately it also means higher system requirements: TADS 3 adventures can be a couple of megabytes big. On a standard Falcon, it can take the system a couple of seconds to answer a prompt.

The terminal version should work in VT52 and VT100 mode.

GEM Version
-----------
The GEM version uses the same user interface as my other interactive fiction interpreters Level 9 Interpreter, ScottFree and STAC Adventure Player. You can set a font (monospaced only) if a font selector is installed. It's also possible to drag a color with the program Colour Selector to set the background color of the window.

The multimedia features of TADS 3 are not supported by FrobTADS 1.2.3.
