# gc-tadsc-22.patch
tuid: oapi61oln37cs95o

A patch file to adapt the source code from gc-src.zip above
to TADS version 2.2 or later, by Rick Litherland.
Rick's explanation: "This is (necessary) because of a change
in the interpretation of the '-' operator inside lists made
with version 2.2. The result is that two NPCs (Hoch and
Konigsberg), who provide a vital clue, disappear early in the
game, making it much harder to get the clue. If the source
file "people.t" is patched with my file, this will be
corrected.  (It also means that another NPC, Marvin Minsky,
will now show up and may cause you to lose points, but so it
goes.) Incidentally, I have tried to ensure that the patched
file will still compile and run under versions before 2.2,
but I haven't been able to check this."
