Most real-life legacies consist not of a million dollars plus a ski-lodge but of a bulky wardrobe plus an old teapot, and that's what Inform 5.5 is like: fondly remembered, but not really worth keeping. In case you should ever need it, though (for instance to renovate very old Inform code that you'd like to test in its original form), here are some links to get started.
