Please read the ReadMe file

I didn't rewrite the C file access routines so the Mac 
dialog only returns a file name. For the file to be opened 
by the program, both the interpreter AND the gamefile must 
be in the same directory.
(This also applies to the compiler and source text files)

I shipped the archive with the games and binaries in 
separate directories so you could choose which binary to use.

Move the interpreter to the games directory and it will work fine.

Let me know If I need to be clearer in the read me file.

Also, at the very end of the program, you are given an option to 
quit, print, or cancel.  This is left in place to give you an
chance to print the text of the current window.  If you do not
want to print, select quit.  If you slect cancel, the the shell
continues to run even though the program has quit.  To close the 
application, simple select it, and then select quit in the menu options
or type <command Q>


Finally, A very small ?Bug?
The PPC interpreter is not displaying it's icon.  To fix this, change its
(or it's, I don't care) creator to 'mIFE' instead of 'mIFL'.  All creator 
references in the read me should be changed to 'mIFE'.


The icons were borrowed from a project I am working on.  
'mIFE' stands for my IF Enviroment
'mIFL' stands for my IF Language
'mIFb' stands for mIF binary
'mIFs' stands for mIF save
