- Inform 6.14 Amiga port
-
- This port was prepared by Richard H. Poser II. If you have access to a
- 68030-based machine, you should use that version.
-
- This is an update to the Amiga version of Inform 6.14 which
- removes one bug, which is in every version of inform, which is most
- noticeable in the Amiga version (With only one source file to date
- causing it to show up)
-
- Bug: It was possible to overwrite the end of the $MAX_STATIC_STRINGS
- array if set to the default value - The fix which is to be
- implemented in Inform 6.15 causes $MAX_STATIC_STRINGS to be at
- least twice that of $MAX_QTEXT_SIZE, reducing the possibility of
- overwriting the end of the array.
-
- This version also has improved error handling and uses Amiga specific
- memory calls in the start of implementation of a Workbench Graphical
- Interface (The Interface is not included in this version)
-
- If you're using Amiga Inform, could you please send me an E-Mail. I'd just
- like to know who is using it.
-
- If you suspect you have encountered a bug in Inform, post your code, along
- with what behaviour you're getting, to rec.arts.int-fiction. Inform has
- gone through many revisions; there may yet be bugs in it, but lately, many
- bugs have proven to be misunderstandings of the compiler's described
- behaviour.
-
- If you have any questions about this Amiga version of Inform, please
- contact me directly at whomiga@missingpiece.com.

- The latest version is available at
- http://www.missingpiece.com/inform/amiga.html
-
- Thanks to Graham Nelson for providing Inform, and to Infocom of old for
- providing a bunch of excellent games, most of which I still haven't played
- yet.
