      Description: FrobTADS is a new version of TADS for Unix
      Long Description: FrobTADS is a complete rewrite of the Unix version. It adds support for a number of relatively recent TADS features that were missing from the old Unix version, including full support for text and background colors, TADS 3 banners, and timed input. It's also much more portable and more easily maintainable, as it's built to modern Unix standards. And installing FrobTADS is greatly simplified compared to the old Unix port, thanks to automatic configuration.
