+frobtads (interactive fiction compiler and interpreter for TADS)
+
+FrobTADS is a full version of TADS for Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X, by
+Nikos Chantziaras. It includes everything you need for playing and
+writing TADS games, including a text-only TADS interpreter and the
+compilers for both TADS 2 and 3.
+
+The latest text-only TADS features are supported, including colored text
+and backgrounds, TADS 3 banner windows, and timed input.
+
+Both Tads 2 (*.gam) as well as Tads 3 (*.t3) games are supported. You can
+find a selection of games at http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/tads/
+
+Package includes:
+
+frob - interpreter for TADS 2 and 3 games.
+frobd - debugger-capabale version of frob (debugger not included).
+t3make - compiler for TADS 3.
+tadsc - compiler for TADS 2.
+tadsrsc - TADS 2 resource manager.
+
+No man pages are included, but the built-in help output for each command
+is very detailed (try each command with either --help or no arguments).
