This Debian prepackaged version of So Far was put together by me,
Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org>, using a story file obtained
from <URL:ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/games/infocom/SoFar.z8>.
SO FAR
An Interactive Catharsis
Copyright 1996 by Andrew Plotkin.
Release 6 / Serial number 961218 / Inform v1502 Library 5/12
So Far is copyright 1996 by Andrew Plotkin. It may be copied,
distributed, and played freely.
[See below for clarification of this. --cpbs]
This game was created using the Inform adventure development system,
which was created by Graham Nelson. You can get Inform, as well as
other text adventures, from the Interactive Fiction archive:
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/
This game is free. But if you feel like sending me money, I won't
refuse. If you feel like sending me comments or bug reports, I'll be
ecstatic. As of the end of 1996, I am at
erkyrath@netcom.com

Extra ideas: My brain. (Honest, it comes up with stuff all on
its own. Sometimes it doesn't tell me the reasons until days
later. Then I scream.)
Dinners of some relevance: Nikki, Jen, Aleecia, Jody.
Surreal confidence: Tom.
DJ'ing folk music on the radio for five hours every Saturday night,
thus providing me with prime working atmosphere: Mary Cliff.
Playing incredibly funny folk music, both on the radio and live:
The Foremen.
This game is dedicated. (For real.)
Andrew Plotkin clarified his copyright licence by email as follows:
Well, my intent was the game can be distributed, as long as it is
free. (I realize I didn't say that very clearly, but life is too short
to write lots of fine print.)
I think I would prefer the games in the "non-free" section. I have
been paid in the past for putting "Weather" on a CD; I might as well
leave myself the option of having that happen again.
CD-ROM makers should contact Andrew; despite that last sentence, I
think he's likely to be willing to let you include his games (so-far
and weather) on a Debian CD.
