How does it compare to CAT?
CAT was a 16-bit program and written some years ago.
TAB has similarities with CAT but is 32-bit, faster, has smaller executable and a more compact and easier to use Editor for constructing adventures.
It is being developed with the thinBASIC scripting language.

Game datafiles load/run faster and load/save game position is quicker.
Only the freely distributable 'TAB Player' is needed to run any TAB games made using the TAB Editor.
