Thanks, Jools, for an excellent job on the FAQ.
_Thanks, Bob_ for the TADS vs Inform FAQ. The comparison is excellent,
but it was actually the comments on whether you need to be a programmer
to use them that I read with greatest interest. I _do_ have some
programming know-how, but only in high-level languages like Rexx and
BASIC. You recommended Alan for non-programmers; I tried it; I love it.
With any Lisp/C/Pascal syntax I would likely _not_ have the patience
to learn the language, let alone write a game.
I look forward to the AGT/Alan/Hugo comparison, whenever it may appear.
