FEATURE: ellision/contraction marked by apostrophe (such as "l'aqua" in italian) is now handled so that it is first looked up as a complete word, but failing that will fallback and look for the two parts separated by the apostrophe as single words.
FEATURE: allow double conjunctions between player sentences, to allow such as "take the stone and then drop it". ("and" and "then" are both conjunctions).

What they say
"If I was to write a new text adventure I wouldn't bother with any other authoring system. Alan is just that much easier."
Felix Pleșoianu
"I think it's the best IF language I've ever seen - and I *am* a programmer."
Andrew Heale
"All those weirdly arranged parentheses, and semi-colons and strange curlicues hanging out in the middle of blank lines. Impossible. But when I looked at Alan I saw the light or, at least, English."
Eric Mayer
"I-F languages are like vehicles ... using Alan is like driving a zippy, easy-handling little electric town car -- it's often all you need to take you where you want to go."
Lelah Conrad
"Another thing I'm sure of, the game will again be in Alan."
Eric Mayer
"I think its most attractive quality is simplicity, a quality that no other adventure creation language possesses."
