Subject: Books : The Text Adventure Game

Ok, I made mention of this a few months ago, but now I have the means to send 
it to people.  Basically, what I've been doing is writing a text adventure game 
(in the Infocom style) based on the story "Books".  The adventure currently 
features three well-known books: Hitchhiker's Guide, Discworld, and Ranma 1/2.

I'm looking for people who will be able to suggest puzzles, help with plot 
points, find obscure bugs, and basically test the world I have attempted to 
create.

The adventure game executable is PC only at the moment.  If you don't have a 
PC, but still want to help, I can distribute the game code (compiled but not 
into an executable), which can then be run by any Inform compiler.  Since 
Inform (the language I programmed it in) runs on almost any computer, this 
should be possible, but it would mean downloading the relevant files (but I 
can't remember where they are...)

Anyway, if you're interested, get in touch.  Thanks.  Ciao,
                             Terence Fergusson
