I'm new to writing IF, also. I tried TADS and Inform, but couldn't get
anywhere. So I downloaded ALAN, and I'm having a little more luck with
it..
My question: What is ALAN lacking? Will it be worth the time to write a
game in ALAN instead of trying to learn TADS or Inform? If I write a game
in ALAN, will anybody be able to play it without also having ARUN?

Thanks,
