Infocom Toolkit: Amiga Port -- 3/3/93
======================================
Contents
--------
This is an AmigaDOS port of the Infocom toolkit by Mark Howell (see
e-mail address below). The Infocom toolkit is set of utilities
designed to manipulate the data files used in infocom games and
report useful and or interesting information. I've tested the tools
on several files from the Lost Treasures of Infocom Amiga release
and they've worked flawlessly.
Also included are two text files by the InfoTaskForce (they are
copyright but freely redistributable) that contain interesting
information on the Infocom data file format and the differences
between different zcode versions.
Install
-------
The only installation step necessary is to copy libs/ixemul.library
to your LIBS: drawer. After that, the programs should work as Mark
has them documented in the IBM readme file which is appended below.
Acknowledgements
----------------
This port was really trivial using GCC, I think I only modified two
lines and created a Makefile (I also changed the names of the
binaries but that is reflected in Mark's readme which I have
edited). Thanks to Mark for creating portable code and making it
freely distributable so we all can enjoy.
Thanks to the InfoTaskForce for their neat documents.
Have fun! -ktd
