How to make a text parser?

Oh yeah I remember that. Wasn't it Colour of magic?

Did you ever use PAW? I got that one instead of the older adventure writers. Came in a massive plastic box that looked like an old book. And squeaked when you opened it if I remember rightly It inspired me to write a mouse driven adventure creator for the Mac at the time (Hypercard was an amazingly English language - even with variables that had spaces in them!) for my CS final year project. Wow the amount of hours I spent on that. Think was like 50% sleeping, 30% beer and women, 19% final year project and 1% lectures Aaaaahhhh....

It might have been. It was the late 80's and I've slept a bit since then.

Never used PAW. GAC was my tool of choice and superb it was too.

Think the guy who did gac then went on to improve on it with paw. Either that or it was the quill guy
