This is the "core repository", holding source code for the compiler, and
for everything needed to run it on the command line. However:
* To build and test the compiler you also need Inweb and Intest, programs
spun out from the Inform project. These are __not included in the core
repository either as submodules or copies__, and have their own repositories.
If you are new to Inform core development, begin by cloning and building Inweb
as a stand-alone tool, then use that to build Intest, then return here.

* Most Inform authors use Inform as an app: for example, it is available
on the Mac App Store. While much of the UI design is the same across all
platforms, each app has its own code in its own repository. See:
