This Debian prepackaged version of A Change in the
Weather 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/weather.z5>.
A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
An Interactive Short Story
Copyright 1995-6 by Andrew Plotkin. Please copy and play freely.
Release 6 / Serial number 960613 / Inform v1405 Library 5/8
A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER is copyright 1995-6 by Andrew Plotkin. It may
be copied, distributed, and played freely.
[See below for clarification of this. --cpbs]
The original version of this game contained brief quotations from the
songs of Eric Bogle, given with credit but without permission. A small
sin, perhaps, but one I have decided to repair. This version contains
nothing that is not my own. However, if you wish to enhance the mood,
find Eric Bogle's album entitled Something Of Value (Rounder Records,
Philo C-PH-1125). Listen to "A Change in the Weather" as you begin
playing the game, and "Katie and the Dreamtime Land" when you finish.
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:

Beta-testing and other helpful comments: Chad Anderson, Richard Barnett,
Laurel Halbany, Galen Hazelwood, Walker Andrew John, Michael Kinyon,
Gareth Rees, Markku Yli-Pentila.
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.
