+
+ADL stands for Adventure Definition Language. It is a superset, with
+greatly enhanced capabilities, of an older language named DDL. DDL was
+originally written in 1981 by Michael Urban, Chris Kostanick, Michael
+Stein, Bruce Adler, and Warren Usui, all of the UCLA Computer Club.
+
+Includes compiler (adlcomp), runtime (adlrun), debugger (adldebug),
+and two sample games (aard and mpu). Documentation and sample code is
+installed in /usr/doc/adl-$VERSION.
