Inform 6.41 for Amiga (22nd July 2022)

This program is a compiler of Infocom format (also called "Z-machine")
story files, as well as "Glulx" story files:
Copyright (c) Graham Nelson 1993 - 2022.

Usage: "inform [commands...] <file1> [<file2>]"

<file1> is the Inform source file of the game to be compiled. <file2>,
if given, overrides the filename Inform would normally use for the
compiled output.  Try "inform -h1" for file-naming conventions.

One or more words can be supplied as "commands". These may be:

  -switches     a list of compiler switches, 1 or 2 letter
                (see "inform -h2" for the full range)

  +dir          set Include_Path to this directory
  ++dir         add this directory to Include_Path
  +PATH=dir     change the PATH to this directory
  ++PATH=dir    add this directory to the PATH

  $...          one of the following configuration commands:
     $list            list current settings
     $?SETTING        explain briefly what SETTING is for
     $SETTING=number  change SETTING to given number
     $!TRACEOPT       set trace option TRACEOPT
                      (or $!TRACEOPT=2, 3, etc for more tracing;
                      $! by itself to list all trace options)
     $#SYMBOL=number  define SYMBOL as a constant in the story

  (filename)    read in a list of commands (in the format above)
                from this "setup file"

Alternate command-line formats for the above:
  --help                 (this page)
  --path PATH=dir        (set path)
  --addpath PATH=dir     (add to path)
  --list                 (list current settings)
  --helpopt SETTING      (explain setting)
  --opt SETTING=number   (change setting)
  --helptrace            (list all trace options)
  --trace TRACEOPT       (set trace option)
  --trace TRACEOPT=num   (more tracing)
  --define SYMBOL=number (define constant)
  --config filename      (read setup file)

For example: "inform -dexs curses".
