The Professional Adventure Writer
PAW is basicly a second generation of Quill. It includes an enhanced
parser that understood adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjugations and
prepositions as well as verbs and nouns. The Editor version (e.g. Spectrum) included the ability to
split the screen and have pictures in the upper section and text in the
lower section. The Compiler version (e.g. CP/M) compiled databases from source files
and didn't have any picture capability - the compiler was written in C.
A later development of the PAW Compiler version allowed the screen to be split and
for pictures to be displayed in the upper section. Each picture was a separate
disk file.
Adventureland was created by Hans
Persson and is now maintained by Stefan Meier.
