Inform

What works

Everything seems to work. I compiled and ran several of the sample works (Bronze, Damnatio Memoriae, Glass) without any problems. Here's how:

Download and install IEs4Linux because Inform requires Internet Explorer. Install ie6. http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page

Download and install Inform 7 for Windows:
$ wine I7_4K41_Windows.exe

Find a copy of riched20.dll and copy it into the Inform 7 installation directory. riched20.dll can be found in Windows installations in the Windows/System32 folder.

Open Inform 7.exe in a hex editor and find all instances of riched2 and change them to riched5. For example: RICHEDIT50 becomes RICHEDIT20, etc. In KHexEditor, for example, do a text search and check the option to "Ignore case". Save the modified file.

Create a shell script to run Inform 7:

#!/bin/sh
export WINEPREFIX="/home//.ies4linux/ie6"
wine /Inform7.exe

Save it as i7 and add execute permissions:
$ chmod u+rwx i7

Start Inform by running i7:
$ ./i7

What does not

Everything seems to work fine but I haven't actually written a full story yet, only compiled stories written by others.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Tested everything I could think of but I'm just getting started using it. I am not an advanced user. Also, I did not test running a game in a separate interpreter but I assume that would work too since the compiler didn't complain about anything.
