Hi, and welcome to the 1997 Interactive Fiction Competition.

	This is our 3rd annual competition, and we have 35 games for your
enjoyment this year.  If you want to grab the entire batch of 35 games at
once, simply download everything.zip and unzip it into a directory, being
sure to use the -d switch in order to preserve the subdirectories.

	If you wish to participate in the voting this year, your votes will
need to be sent to: ct@ecs.ox.ac.uk

	Votes received after Dec. 31st, 1997 will not be used.

	More information on the competition is available at:

	Thank you,
	Kevin Wilson
