Hi:

I have a friend whose son has a Mac.  He is interested in writing
interactive fiction games, and I suggested Inform, as I have used it
both on my 486, and SGI.  I like the program very much and I wonder if
it has been ported to the Mac yet.  I haven't used version 5 yet, but
from what I've heard, it sounds great.  He doesn't have a C compiler,
so he would need executables.  I will look on ftp.gmd.de, but if
anyone can point me to the right files, I would much appreciate it.
(I have never used a Mac and know nothing about them.)

He also needs an Infocom interpreter.  I use ITF, but I've heard that
there are now better ones available.  Has it or anything better been
ported to the Mac?  Thanks in advance for any help.

                                      Dave
