    This is the readme file for Gross2.exe, a small text adventure 
game. The files in the archive should be gross2.exe and this file.
This game is freeware.  It may be freely distributed, but not
sold. It is copyright by me. 

	This game was originally written for the Atari ST in
Atari ST Basic (a terrible development environment), 
a long time ago.  It was then adapted and expanded
with Mark Williams C on the ST (a great development 
environment).At first it was an exercise in writing a 
simple text parser in C.  When I finally moved to the msdos 
world, I used Quick C and then Turbo C++ to nearly complete it.
Then OS/2 came along, and I finished it with gcc. It was 
compiled with the -static switch so the runtime .dll is not
needed.

    This is my first attempt at this kind of programming, and likely
my last. This is version 1.0.  I do not have a very clear idea
about whether the puzzles are too easy or too hard, whether it is
fun to play or a waste of time.  I would very much appreciate
your comments, suggestions and ideas, as well as reports of bugs.
(Game testing on this kind of game, where you know all the puzzles,
is pretty tedious.) I will attempt to fix the bugs where found, and
if the suggestions are not too tough to implement I will try to
incorporate them.

    
    If you are stuck and would like help, feel free to e-mail
me.  I would be glad to help.
    
    Thanks for your interest and assistance.
