This archive contains modified versions of grammar.h, parser.h, parserm.h,
and english.h.  They're real neat and super easy to use in your own inform
games.


What does it do?
================
The modifications I have whipped up extend Inform's standard parser to
include some nifty handy features:

Better handling of AND and THEN
-------------------------------
"Take the box and then open it" works now.
"Take and open the box" works now.
"Pick up the box and the ball and open the box and look in it" works now.
"Take and open the book and the box and put the book in the box" works too.

Better handling of multiple subjects
------------------------------------
Most verbs now allow multiple subjects, like "Look at all".  To keep
things fair, daemons are allowed to run between actions, but only if the
action took time to do.

For example, if you had a Rat daemon going and you typed "open all", you
might get something like this:

Book: Opened.                               <- it worked so it took time
The rats are chewing on your foot.          <- this is the Rat daemon
Table: That's not something you can open.   <- no time taken so no daemon
Door: Opened.                               <- took time
The rats are still chewing on your foot.    <- that Rat daemon again
