Specifically, they mentioned "TADS" and "Inform". I know TADS is available
for the Mac - is INFORM?
Also, I sent this question to support@hinrg.starconn.com as specified, but
never heard anything back from them. I also called the long distance phone
number to order TADS twice, and left messages, but no one ever called me
back.
Is TADS still a going concern, or has it been dropped? Thanks in advance for
any assistance anyone can lend me!

TADS looks great! I finally took a look at it tonight, and it looks like you
guys did a bang up job with it.
I would buy the product, if it could do a couple of critical functions for
me.
1. Is it possible to NOT put up a dialog box for save and restore, and
specify the file name directly with the command? Example: "SAVE FILENAME"
and "RESTORE FILENAME".
2. Can it write all game output to a specified text file, instead of or in
addition to writing it to the screen?
3. Is there any way to make it accept input from a text file? Like, on
idle, check for the existence of a file, and if it exists, read a one-line
command from it, delete it, and execute the command?
Thanks in advance for your info! Number 1 is the most important to my buying
decision, but numbers 2 and 3 are worth asking about, too.
