README

inform-mode: an Emacs major mode for editing Inform 6 source code.

Introduction
------------

inform-mode supports the usual program mode functions: automatic
indentation, moving over expressions, comment and string filling, font
locking, tags-file support, starting compiles and parsing errors. You
can also run a z-code interpreter against the compiled code.

It should work on GNU Emacs (v22+) or XEmacs (v21.4+) on any supported
platform.

See the NEWS file for details of recent changes.
