AGT Version 1.83


8 Aug 1995 01:35:36 GMT

For those who care, I just uploaded AGT Version 1.83 to ftp.gmd.de, in
the /incoming/if-archive section.

Version 1.83 adds quote boxes (like those in Inform). It also lets you
change the status line using one of several options; this is much like
AGT Master's Edition. One of the format options includes the ability to
display time (in either AM/PM or military (24 hour) format). Also added
are several tokens that let you change the time (add, subtract, etc).

Two files were uploaded: AGT183.ZIP had the compiler and run-time
executables. AGT183S.ZIP has the Turbo Pascal V7.0 source code.

Currently, this version of AGT will only run on IBM/compatibles. I think
it would be cool if someone would convert the Pascal source code to ANSI
C. This was, AGT would become "portable", much like Inform and TADS. I'd
do it myself, but my knowledge of C is minimal... (Sounds like, "The
conversion of AGT from Pascal to C is left as an exercise for the
reader", huh?)

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Thanks.
