CREATIVE ADVENTURE TOOLKIT News

                   From Philip Richmond

The C.A.T. web page has been updated on 16th September, 2000.  The
latest full version of this free text/graphic adventure creation
system, 'catadv.zip' (1305 kb) can be downloaded at:

http://www.richmond62.freeserve.co.uk/index.htm

If you already have the CAT program, you can update your current
version of the program by just downloading the 'catedit.zip' (94
kb) and 'catrun.zip' (47 kb) and 'cathelp.zip' files only and
unzipping them to overwrite/replace the existing files currently
contained in your CAT main program directory. This easy method
will automatically update your program to the latest version.

I have decided to make the program entirely free from now on, in
keeping with a lot of other good adventure creators that are
currently available. Although free, Registration is still
required.  The reason for this is that it helps me to maintain a
contact list of serious users and I can better judge how many
people are interested in writing adventures with the software.

The program is now free and available to all who may be interested
in using it to write text adventure games for the enjoyment and
benefit of the Interactive Fiction community at large.

I would like to thank those who have supported CAT previously and
encouraged me to improve and develop the program.

The update is a minor revision with some fixes and improvements.
Any databases created with previous versions will work OK in the
updated program.

Best wishes, Philip.
