Hello all,

I have recently started tooling around a bit in the Mac version of "Lost" or
"Lost Adventure" I down-loaded from ftp.gmd.de.  It's a TADS game which I 
believe is also available in the pc games directory.

It looks to be a rather large time-consuming game (just the way I like'em), but
my question is - has anyone out there completed this game?  No hints or
pointers, I just want to hear that it's possible.  I seem to be having some
very basic difficulties with objects and locations.  I can "wear" gloves but
I'm still carrying them in a container, or there are "invisible" objects that I
find with commands involving "all" that make no sense and may belong in a
different room.  

I really need to know if these design problems make finishing the game a
crap-shoot...  

Thanks,

Greg
