Title: Navigation page for Inform 6 Author: Graham Nelson @ The Inform system of today sometimes uses the Inform system of yesteryear, |inform6|, as a final stage of compilation, a stage largely invisible to end users of the Inform apps. See //structure// for a diagram of how the tools are combined in use. Inform 6 is a C-like language designed to be compiled to the specialist Z-machine or Glulx virtual machines, which in turn were designed for interactive fiction. The Inform 7 repository at Github contains a copy of the most recent stable release of the Inform 6 compiler, but this is only a copy. The Inform 6 compiler repository is here: (*) https://github.com/DavidKinder/Inform6 Note that this is a straight-up C program, and not a literate program needing //inweb// to compile. @ The I7 repository does not contain the Inform 6 "Designer's Manual 4th Edition", the "DM4", or the Inform 6 Technical Manual, for which see: (*) https://www.inform-fiction.org/manual/html/contents.html (*) https://www.inform-fiction.org/source/tm/index.html The I7 repository also does not contain the Inform 6 library, which is not used by Inform 7: but see -- (*) https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/inform6lib @ However, the I7 repository does contain a version of Andrew Plotkin's test suite for the I6 compiler: (*) https://github.com/erkyrath/Inform6-Testing ported to use //intest// rather than the Python script originally supplied. So if you've already built the Inform 7 tool chain, and are already using intest to test //inform7// and the others, then you can run this suite against the included copy of the I6 compiler as well.
