"VERITAS" TADS game now at ftp.gmd.de

Hello all!
"Veritas," a TADS-based text adventure game is now available at
ftp.gmd.de for downloading and playing (and, hopefully, enjoying). As
mentioned in the recent review in XYZZYnews, "Veritas" is set at
Harvard University; it's many nefarious (and not so nefarious) puzzles
need to be solved in order to get that allegedly oh-so-valuable college
diploma. The plain TADS .gam file and a Mac version are ready; a PC version
is in the works.
Hope you get a chance to check it out and have some fun with it. For
all you r.a.i.f.-ophiles out there, this is a TADS-based game with >11,000
lines of code (in addition to the standard adv.t file), >100 rooms, and
>1,000 objects. It has occupied my spare time (albeit what little there is)
for the last 4 years; anyone in a similar position should keep plugging
away and get that IF out there, so we can enjoy it.

Any and all comments, bug reports (but, Jim, there can't be any
bugs left :) ), etc. appreciated.

Jim!
