+Ifm (Interactive Fiction Mapper) is a language for keeping track of your
+progress through an Interactive Fiction game, and a program for producing
+various different sorts of output using it.  You can record each room you
+visit and its relation to other rooms, the initial locations of useful
+items you find, and the tasks you need to perform in order to solve the
+game.
+
+The Ifm mapping commands are designed so that you can easily add to the map
+as you explore the game.  You type in the rooms you visit and the
+directions you move in to reach other rooms, and Ifm calculates the
+position of each room in relation to the others.  A map can consist of
+several independent sections, allowing you to divide up the map however you
+like.
+
+The Ifm task commands, if used, allow you to specify the order in which
+game-solving tasks must be done.  The Ifm program can then calculate and
+print different styles of walkthrough for the game.
