TADS Modules on Disk 948

The Grue has been surfing the Internet like a good 'un and
discovered the TADS programming page. He downloaded a load of
utilities and modules to link into your TADS programs to produce
certain effects.  These have been added to the library (Disk Ref
948) and the modules are as follows (programmer's name in
brackets):

adhint.zip - an adaptive hint module which tracks game state to
give good hints (Dave Allen)

answerme.t - code that allows the player to answer questions asked
by the game, similar to Infocom's "You sound rather positive"
(Scott Steinfath)

askabout.zip - a simple knowledge database so NPCs can reply to
"ask about" (Dave Allen)



brackets.t - a simple use of the parseError function to enclose
special parser messages in brackets. Min Req TADS 2.0 (Bryan
Weber)

clothing.zip - a very simple way to give clothing a more realistic
