Help with Inform


9 Aug 1995 23:30:15 -0500

Ok, I am having a little problem with Inform. I want to start
the player in bed, but when I try to do this, the player is IN the
bed... This goes something like this.

object bedroom "bedroom"
iwth description "..."
has light;

nearby bed "bed"
with descirption ...
has enterable supporter;

so, it would seem that the bed would belong to the room, and therefore:

[Initialise
Location = bed;
];

Should start the character on their bed? Correct? What am I doing wrong?

Also... the docs for inform memtion some debugging verbs, which arent
there... what is the deal with. And one more addendum.. does anyone have
source for a Linux version of ZIP? Thanks a lot.
