Description:
 QTads is a GUI interpreter for Tads games,
running under Unix-based systems (it has been
tested in Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, but it
should compile and run in many more, like Solaris
and Irix). It has some nice features, like
fullscreen mode and text-justification.

Tads is a programming language for implementing
Interactive Fiction (text-adventures). If you ever
played an Infocom game like "Zork" or "Trinity",
or the classic game "Adventure" by Crowther and
Woods (also known as "ADVENT"; it has also been
ported to Tads), then you know what this is about.

Changelog:
 Updated the Tads virtual machine to version
2.5.14/3.0.18.1

Fixed Unicode filename problems.  Running games
from directories that contain Unicode characters
as well as saving and loading gamestates in such
directories should work now.

Fixed a compilation problem on BSD systems.

Fixed a display problem with Tads 2 games that use
non-latin characters and don't make use of
character mapping files.  The system's local
character encoding will now be used by default for
Tads 2.  Russian games for example that are
written in the CP1251 character set using the
"RTADS" libraries will now display correctly if
the system's character set is also CP1251
("ru_RU.CP1251" in Linux for example; note that
"ru_RU.UTF-8" won't work since the character set
must match the one of the game.)
