It aims to provide an ANSI/ISO C core Adrift interpreter, capable of running

Adrift version 4.00, version 3.90, and version 3.80 games, and portable enough
7
to run on Linux, Windows, DOS, Macintosh, Amiga, or any platform that offers
8
an ANSI/ISO C compiler.

contains everything you need to know on that.

SCARE's home on the Web is in the IF Archive, under programming/adrift.

Thanks to Jan-Erik Karlsson for work on SCARE for Amiga; Uli Kusterer for work
35
on the Macintosh SCARE build; Thomas Payerle for slogging through the Adrift
36
version 3.90 TAF file format; Rik Snel for his work to uncovering the TAF file
37
obfuscation used by Adrift versions 3.90 and 3.80; David Kinder for the
38
Windows specific Glk startup code; Emily Short for uncovering bugs that only
39
showed up well into a couple of games; Robert Goodwin, Richard Otter, Eric
40
Mayer, Todd Watson, Nick Rogers, and Sam Trenholme for miscellaneous bug
41
reports; and David Whyld for bug reports and detailed game walkthroughs for
42
reference and testing.
44
And, of course, to Mark J. Tilford who started this whole thing in the first
45
place with jAsea, providing almost all of the Adrift reverse engineering that
46
SCARE uses. Without jAsea, there would be no SCARE.
