Hello!

I've uploaded an optimized version of the Amiga Inform 6.05 compiler to 
ftp.gmd.de.  It's in incoming/if-archive at the moment.

the difference between this version and the one that was uploaded about a 
week ago is 10 to 20% in speed (68000 and 68030 versions, respectively).  
This was done by inserting a few directives into the source code to make 
certain high-traffic variables and structures more quickly accessible by 
the processor. (That's "near data section" to the Amiga techies.)

The archive already includes the Inform library.

/Steve
