PDF's

CutePDF Writer (Freeware) is a great program that allows you to create PDF files from almost any printable document.

Even better is that it is FREE for personal and commercial use!

Butcher Basic

Created by Heal Butcher for ADRIFT version 3.90.

Butcher Basic is a combination of a skeleton game and ALR file to help create a game with most of the standard options there for the author.

It provides changed default responses in the ALR, which make it easy for the writer to make their own changes.
