Ah well, I shouldn't bother with them then. However, when I bought LToI 1
from HMV t'other day, I was told that volume two was "deleted". Is this
true? Is it common knowledge? If it is an ex-package, this would appear to
be a bit of a shame. I'd rather like to play Trinity and Bureaucracy in
particular. Anyone care to tell me where I can get a copy? Or sell me one?

And now, in an attempt to make the content fit r.a.i-f better (the reader
I'm using won't post to anywhere I've not had a message on, and r.games.i-f,
seems to be empty... is there really no traffic there, or is it my
problem?), I'll ask if anyone's come up with a ready-to-use solution to the:

>Eat gloves
No, it's plainly inedible.

problem in Inform. I've got my own kludged parser for my own game (RSN...
well, this century, anyway. Maybe.) of course, but I really hate having to
go through every new parser Graham releases, putting all the alterations
back in. Perhaps the strings could be separated from the parser for easy
editing, somehow.
