The six standard Inform example games have been included to demonstrate use of the compiler. Copy the Inform folder to somewhere on your PMA (maintaining the directory structure) then navigate to one of the game folders (anything except the Lib folder where the Inform compiler lives) from the terminal. Make sure that the file 'makegame' is executable by running the command:

\> chmod 777 makegame

Then you can execute:

\> ./makegame

to compile the game of the folder you are in. This process should produce a new file in the directory called "Nameofgame.z5". You can use the example folders as templates for you own games.

The .z5 files can be executed with any Z-machine interpreter. The Frotz interpreter is available for the PMA and can run Z-machine files. The same Z-machine file will run on any platform that has a Z-machine interpreter.

This program, Frotz and all required libraries are currently available at the archos-pma430 yahoo group.
