Professional Adventure Writer or PAW (sometims called PAWS for Professional Adventure Writing System) is program to write adventure games. It's written by Tim Gilberts and Graeme Yeandle based Greame's earlier system called The Quill. PAW was published by Gilsoft in 1986 and quickly gained a loyal following. PAW improved over the earlier The Quill in several ways. For instance it was no longer limited to the verb noun type input. It also supported NPCs, different character sets and you could also make full use of the memory of the 128K ZX Spectrum.
Later a program called WinPAW was written by Douglas Harter. This program could read adventured written in PAW, but WinPAW ran under Microsoft Windows and had a few extensions compared to the original.
Graeme Yeandle also released an updated version of the CP/M version of PAW for MS-DOS and called it PC Adventure Writer.
