As the name may imply, this is a collection of EXE files for the LADS thingy that I posted about long ago (programming/lads/lads.zip). COMPILER.EXE is the compiled compiler (which compiles compiled compilations), DRIVER.EXE is the compiled driver (back then, they didn't have the word 'interpreter'), LADS.DOC is a thinly disguised ADVCOMP.DOC (from lads.zip; it talks about how to program .adv files), DEMO.ADV is the source to the semi-demo provided in lads.zip (I added a 'quit' command, since you can't Control-Break out of the EXE driver), and SLAB.ADV is a little demo I wrote that at least has the links right (unlike demo.adv... it has a way to win the game as well). Enjoy. As long as I'm speaking about LADS... if your adventure compiles fine, and crashes in the driver with an error 9 (or "Auto Action number mismatch", or "subscript error", or something) at the screen with the header message (before you're asked to depress space bar), type it in again. No, don't _write_ it from scratch again, just type it in in a different file. I have no idea why, but it worked for me (like the 'cursed files' msdos C compilers often have). -- Jesse McGrew, the ORIGINAL monolith.
