Everything about Inform t

EE= Sigh. To paraphrase somebody, I know good documentation when I fail
EE= to reread it twenty times. I've read the Inform Designer's Manual
EE= about twenty times by now.

I feel your pain! I empathise with the anguish. For me the inform manual was
like the carrot held forever just out of reach as I ran after it starving to
death! Finally I passed out with exhaustion and after sleeping many months
came back to it and am slowly putting things together.

As you said, the manual assumes a lot. While superficially appearing
structured to build concept upon concept, in fact virtually every chapter
incoperates concepts not yet introduced and therefore very confusing. many
things are not explained in very good detail.

I hate to complain. Because INFORM is a wonderful thing... and free!

But I when I read this I wanted to post my empathic wailings.

EE= bop your head with a paper-towel roll.

Hmmm, that's a good idea... bop myself on the head with a paper roll.
