TADS for the Amiga

(Gee, my first Usenet message!)

Greetings fellow adventurers,

I have been playing and writing text-adventures for many years now, and
when I first got my hands on TADS, I thoguh I finally could write my own
adventure without being a skilled C-programmer.

The problem is, the Amiga port of TADS hasn't been updated for about 3 years,
and thus I find little use in registering it (I can't play any of the v2.1 games,
nor take advantage of the new features). This is really a shame, since TADS is
such a great program, and I think I'm not the only one in the Amiga community
who wants a new version of TADS.

So this question goes out to anyone who knows; will there ever be a new
Amiga-port of TADS? In the file "HOW-TO-RUN-THESE-GAMES" (?) in the
games/tads/ directory on gmd the Amiga port is mentioned, with an inclination
that it is being worked on... Anyone knows anything about this?
