Finding TADS for Amiga
(first off, if any of these links are broken just go to the executables directory in the IF archive - it's likely that a binary was updated and I haven't got around to updating this list yet.)

David Kinder, co-maintainer of the IF-archive has ported Dave Baggett's UNIX version of the TADS system to the Amiga. You can find a copy of it at the IF-archive:

http://ifarchive.org/if-archive/programming/tads2/executables/AmigaTADS255GCC.lha (US mirror)

Decompressing the File
The file is stored as an lha archive, for which you will need an appropriate decoder.

Running the Interpreter
In the TADS folder you'll find an executable named "tadsr". This is the interpreter program that lets you run TADS games.

Note that you don't need any of the other files in the folder. The other stuff (tadsc, various documentation files) is only really important if you intend to write your own TADS game.

Have fun!
