Ok, here is GL v1.11, which replaces GL v1.1. GL is a language for those who
wants fast graphics, sound and keyboard control without having to learn all
the tricks of the HP48. To try it, get the basic package which contains the
GL library and a few simple demos.

GL has been inspired by S-CHIP, but it's much more powerful and it's easier
to write GL programs too. GL works on all HP48 versions.

If you would like to try and write your own GL programs, get the docs and the
assembler for PC or for the HP48. Then take a look at the examples and get
started! It's not difficult to learn if you have some programming experience.

I spent a *lot* of work on this package, and so did Fatri who wrote the HP48
assembler. So try it out, and WRITE GAMES AND PROGRAMS IN GL!!!

(The text below is the release notes for GL v1.11. If you put GL on a FTP site
or BBS, please store it as GL111.NOT, and don't modify the ZIP files.)

What is GL?
===========
GL (Game Language) is a language that makes it easy to write high-speed HP48
programs that uses graphics, the keyboard, and sound. GL itself is an
interpreter in the form of a library, and a GL program is a string.

When writing GL programs, you need not worry about how the HP48 works. GL
takes care of all the problems for you, such as what version (S/SX/G/GX) you
have. GL has a powerful instruction set and it is easy to get your first
program running. There are two assemblers in the kit, one for PC and one for
the HP48 itself.

Contents of the ZIP files:
--------------------------
GL111BAS.ZIP basic package with the GL library and a few demo programs
GL111DOC.ZIP documentation and two utilities for the GL programmer
GL111PC.ZIP  the PC assembler with docs and examples
GL111HP.ZIP  the HP48 assembler with docs and examples


Note on GL v1.11
================
GL v1.11 is essentially the same as GL v1.1. It is released because the
file PCMAC.EXE is corrupt in some copies of the archive due to a mistake
by the moderator when it was first posted to Comp.sources.hp48. There is
also a bug fix in the GLASS assembler, which is now v1.2.

---------------------------------------
GL111BAS.ZIP no change
GL111DOC.ZIP the G2GL example G2GL.XMP is added
GL111PC.ZIP  the file PCMAC.EXE is not corrupt
GL111HP.ZIP  a bug is fixed in GLASS, which is now v1.2
