thankyou

Hi Lucas,

thanks for bringing this to my attention! When I had taken inform-mode,
I had also looked at inform, but there were no removal bugs then, so
I assumed the package was still looked after.

I use inform from time to time and will definitely have a look at the
package.
As far as I can tell from a quick glance at the SF page, Inform 7 is under
the GPL, and there are also (upstream-provided) packages for Debian
and Ubuntu. Programming I7 is fundamentally different from I6, however,
so we shouldn't remove one in favour of the other. (To be honest, I
prefer version 6 myself.)

Besides, the bugs in the current inform package are all trivially
fixable... I think it's worth keeping even though the Interactive
Fiction community is quite small.


Thanks!

Jan
