Watch out for these people, they can get violent when discussing this. :)
TADS and Inform are hard to use unless you have had some prior experience
with programming. (C PASCAL etc) I think there is something called ALAN
that is very easy to learn. However I hear it is somewhat limited in what
it can do.
check ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/
there is much to learn from there. If you want to go right to Inform or
TADS but don't know which one there is even a FAQ there.
I believe ARUN/ALAN is there also.
