This is the web site for Inform 6, an interactive fiction design language created by Graham Nelson. This server was launched in mid-2002 and supported until April of 2008. Since that time, this site has been only minimally maintained.

The Inform language itself is still supported. Inform 6 maintenance has moved to GitHub (I6 compiler) and GitLab (I6 library). The current version of Inform is Inform 7, which is maintained at its own web site: inform7.com.

With the kind permission of its original creators, this site is maintained as a historical reference by IFTF. It is no longer updated; much of the information here is out of date. However, if you're looking for the Inform 6 Designer's Manual (DM4), the Inform 6 Reference Addendum, the I6 Technical Manual, or the current reference specification of the Z-machine, we've got those.
