For the last few months I have been studiously at work compiling an
inform adventure. It will soon be at a stage (hopefully !!) where I
will need some 'Alpha' testers to try it out and comment on its
many failings before it is released into the Ether.

I'm sure there must be many of you out there who are also creating
a masterpiece, so wouldn't it be a good idea to get a group of
Inform programmers together to help with each others testing
and programming tips.

I know that this newsgroup has many postings to this effect, but in
the case of testing, the fewer people know about the inner workings
of the untested program, the better.

If anyone out there is willing to help me and yourself out then please
mail me directly so I can see how large the response is. It would be
superb to set an official forum up from people all over the world, and
may even do a great deal for promoting the still thriving text
adventure.

I look forward to receiving copious amounts of mail over the next few days!!
