+inform (interactive fiction compiler)
+
+Inform 6 is version 6 of Inform, an interactive fiction programming
+language created by Graham Nelson. Inform 6 made its debut on April 30th,
+1996, and it continues to be one of the most popular IF development
+systems even after the introduction of Inform 7 in 2006. Inform 6,
+like all other versions of Inform, compiles to code not only for the
+Z-machine, the same virtual machine used by Infocom, but also for the
+more powerful and flexible virtual machine called Glulx.
+
+This is a command-line compiler for the Inform 6 language. For a graphical
+Inform 7 compiler, see gnome-inform7. Inform 6 and 7 are completely
+different languages, so it's not redundant to install both.
+
+To get started writing interactive fiction with Inform, everything you
+need is installed in /usr/doc/inform-$VERSION:
+
+inform_beginners_guide.pdf - Read this first.
+manual/index.html - The Designer's Manual. Everything you need to know.
+tutorials/*.inf - Tutorials in Inform source code format.
+demos/*.inf - Source to sample games.
+
+Related packages: you'll want a Z-Code interpreter to try out your creations.
+Install one of: fizmo, frotz, zoom.
