Using archie I see two TADS package files "tads.zip" and "tads110.zip".
Which file is the correct version of the TADS 1.1 package? I wish to try
using TADS before I decide to order version 2.0. The one with the byte count
229658 appears to win out by number of occurences. I have no idea what the one
listed on procyon.cis.ksu.edu as /pub/PC/Games/Misc/tads.zip is.

Can the author clarify the correct one? Is there one point of communication
to ask all the sites to sync up to the same file names/versions?

My archie outputs follow:
