INFORM is written in C, so if you have THINK C or some other C compiler for the
Macintosh you might want to have a go.  However, the compiler is written with no
regard for the possibility that it will be run in circumstances where integers
aren't 32 bits and where it can't immediately grab a couple of megabytes off the
heap, so don't be surprised if it doesn't compile.

INFORM certainly doesn't run when compiled by any C compiler for the IBM PC that
I've tried.
