"Skipping Breakfast" is a short text-only Interactive Fiction game.
(Copyright (1999) by Stephen Griffiths.)  This, the second release
of the game, is a slightly tidied up version of the first release
written for David Glasser's 'WackyComp' run on the rec.arts.int-fiction
Internet newsgroup in early 1999.

The game is contained in the two component files skipbrek.acd
and skipbrek.dat.

It was written using version 2.8 of the ALAN Interactive
Fiction authoring system.

You need an Alan 2.8 'runtime interpreter' program to play the game.
Alan 2.8 interpreters are currently available for:

  Microsoft Windows and MSDOS PC's
  Apple Macintosh
  Linux
  Sun Solaris 1 & 2

If your computer system is included in that list, you can download
the interpreter for your computer system, free of charge, from any
of the following Internet sites:

  The Interactive Fiction Archive
      ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/programming/alan/executables/

I hope you enjoy the game. If you'd like to make any comments I'd love
