Inform 5.5 GS v1.0b4 on FTP



Inform 5.5 GS v1.0b4 will be uploaded shortly to the IF archive at 
ftp.gmd.de in the /incoming/if-archive directory.  I don't think there's 
much demand, so I'm not posting it to binaries, but I will honor email 
requests.

There are a couple of bugs in v1.0b3 that only crop up if you use some of 
the more obscure command line switches (a, l, n, o, and t.)  Normally 
these aren't critical, but for those interested in learning the z-machine 
by watching the compiled results, they are handy.  

At any rate, these bugs have been fixed and I managed to squeeze almost 
5k off the executable.  Currently I haven't added temporary file 
support.  Compiling with all switches on easily uses in excess of 1.25 
megs of memory, so if anyone out there is short on memory and wants a 
version that makes use of temporary files, let me know and I'll make that 
my next priority.

Currently I only know of one person besides myself who has made any use 
what-so-ever of the GS version of Inform.  I'm very curious to know if 
anyone other GS folks use Inform or are even interested in interactive 
fiction.
