Have fun.


What is this?
=============

FrobTADS is a portable, multi-platform TADS toolkit. It contains
"frob", a combined TADS2/TADS3 console interpreter (using curses/ncurses
for console I/O), as well as the TADS 2 and TADS 3 development tools.

The package compiles and runs on a variety of systems, including Unix
systems (Linux, old and modern Solaris systems, Mac OS X, BSD flavors,
probably more), BeOS and Microsoft Windows. Package configuration and
installation is automatic (./configure;make;make install). Make sure to
read the INSTALL file first though, as it contains a rather important note.

Excellent news! I'm using Mac OS X and finally I'm able to upgrade from
TADS 3.0.8.

A couple of things, though:

* There should be a clear explanation of where to unpack the compiler
add-ons and how to build them. (I unpacked the add-on archives into the
t2compiler and t3compiler dirs that came
with the main package - keeping the Makefiles already there - then ran
../configure + make + make install again. This seems to have worked).
I suggest you consider providing a complete "terp + dev-tools" archive,
in addition to the the "terp only" archive.

* QTads (1.6c, Mac OS X) won't run my WIP as built with FrobTADS 0.4
("VM Error: function set "t3vm/010005" version is not available -
latest available version is "010004") -- but I've a feeling you're
working on this

Still, many thanks!
