Magnetic is an interpreter for the games written between 1985 and 1990 by
Magnetic Scrolls, a text adventure producer based in London, England.
Although they only produced seven games they have acquired legendary status
for text adventures of as good quality as Infocom accompanied by exceptional
graphics.

Magnetic is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See
the file COPYING that is included with this program for details.

The Magnetic Scrolls games as originally distributed were in a somewhat
complex data format, different for most platforms. The interpreter uses its
own story file format, to be identified by the file name extension ".mag".
You can download all story files from the Magnetic Scrolls Memorial site at

    http://www.if-legends.org/

Magnetic has been successfully tested with story files created from Amstrad
CPC, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Spectrum and Spectrum +3
versions of the games. An alternative way to obtain the story files is to
extract them from the original Commodore 64 and MS-DOS game files.
