Oops, didn't get the original posting, only Bruce's until now. But I
consider ALan simpler than AGT, in a way, because you don't have to
juggle with all those numbers - AGT uses them instead of names to
refer to things, locations and so on (what the heck *was* MESSAGE 42?
- ok, the 'master edition' allows names, but there aren't as many
ports of it; as an aside: AGT reminds me of The Quill, a commercial
adventure designer program for the ZX-Spectrum, only with a
half-decent parser).
