Good morning!

Thank you for posting the source code for your adventure. This game is well worth the 20th Anniversary Edition.

I am currently trying to write my own adventure in Inform 6. Since your adventure is extensive and complex it provides a resource for techniques that will provide ideas for my own adventure.

Thank you again, Jeff
