1mAUTHOR
0mThis program was written by me, Paul David Doherty, in
1992.
Some ideas incorporated in this program came from other
people involved with INFOCOM interpreters and debuggers,
especially Mark Howell, Mike Threepoint, and Paul Smith.
Sascha Wildner sent me some bug reports. Thanks a lot.
If you want to report any bugs or make any suggestions,
you can contact me via Email. My address:

1mCOPYRIGHTS
0mThis program is freely distributable. However, it is not in
the Public Domain, so please don't distribute modified
versions without notifying me.
1mBUGS
0mThere are no known bugs.
However, if you use the 3m-t 0moption, you should set the
stack to 10000 (because the recursions will eat some
stack).
Also, as the 3m-t 0moption performs quite a few jumps in
the file, it can take a long time if the file is on a disk.
It is advisable to put it on your hard disk or into RAM.
1mCOMPATIBILITY
0mThe program is written without using any Amiga-specific
functions. I have tried to make it work on little-endian
machines as well as big-endian ones. However, I had no
possibility to test whether it compiles (and works) on any
system apart from the Amiga.
