+             $adventure walkthrough
+          rev. by Jessica Allan 08/02/97
+
+This will RUIN the game for you.  Do not use it unless you
+are truly desperate to stop playing and get on with your
+life.  Since I have documented it quite thoroughly, this
+will ruin it more than any other walkthrough, and even 
+contains some of the ending.
+
+This is an adaptation of Sean L. Palmer's walkthrough, with 
+better documentation and some improvements made.  
+
+These commands will not work in every single game.  There 
+are some variants, such as get/take, and this will not work
+for the 430 point, 550 point, 660 point, 501 point, 551 
+point, or 370 point versions.  That means that the Windows
+version does not conform to this, although the documentation
+*may* be helpful.  
+
+I highly recommend Rick Adams' page:
+http://www.winternet.com/~radams/adventure/
+This contains the walkthroughs, tips, history, links to an
+FTP site providing source code and compiled versions for 
+DOS/Windows, Amiga, Macintosh, OS/2, and UNIX, and maps.
+Even with this documentation, you can *still* get lost due 
+to some contingencies in the game, such as backtracking to
+compensate for piracy, dwarves, and a few other things.
+
+For those reasons, you cannot feed this through input 
+redirection, although, if you're astute enough, you could 
+probably write some mild AI code and feed this through.  But
+I doubt anyone would bother.
+
+I can guarantee that this version will work with Adventure
+on the Web at Stanford's machine:
+http://tjwww.stanford.edu/adventure.html
+That is the version I tested it with, and I have kept the
+original format that was used, such as five letter packing
+and such that was output from the other machine.  How close
+this is to the original version, I can't say.
+I recommend the Web version if you're running a 14.4 
+connection or higher, since the Windows version is a bit
+outdated anyway.
+
+Enjoy playing, and I'm sorry I had to do this to you.  But
+if it wasn't for this walkthrough, I never would have gotten
+on with *my* life.  :)
