[net.games] deadline

As for all Infocom text adventure games, your best source of hints
is the invisible-ink hint booklet sold by Infocom (formerly sold by
the Zork Users Group).  For a fraction of the cost of the game, you
get a great frustration-resolver.

Hi, I've been playing deadline from Infocom for some time, and I'm
completely stuck. It seems I've looked everywhere (incl. diary, medicine 
bottles, letters, newspaper). I have some thougts on what might have
happened, but not the slightest idea who did it. I haven't found a safe,
or the second will. I also sometimes have problems formulating the right
question. Especially "why" is hard. I'd like to ask Mrs. Robner why she 
lied to me about her "friend".

I'd very appreciate any small clues, which might help me save this 
mystery. Also, if you have better ideas on how to formulate questions
I'd love to know!

Thanks in advance!

A few things:
a)  There ARE red herrings.
b)  Try following people.
c)  The notepad is important.
d)  The gardener can help.
e)  The safe?  Try tapping on the walls (not too useful, actually, but
	you should be thinking of these things..)
f)  Have you been analyzing things?
