0. Installation instructions
----------------------------

Installation instructions in file named 'INSTALL'.

1. Introduction
---------------

GLfunge98 aims to be the best Funge98/Befunge93 interpreter with an UI
implementer with OpenGL. It is the only one I know, so it quite possibly
even is the best one.

GLfunge98, when finished, will have support for Concurrent Funge, Trefunge,
and full Funge98 command set, while still providing a Befunge93
compatibility mode for older programs. GLfunge98 will also provide lots of
dynamically loadable extensions to the Befunge programmer.

GLfunge98 home pages should be at http://glfunge98.sourceforge.net/.

2. Other documentation
----------------------

The file 'doc/Changes' will always have information about the current stage
of the interpreter (ie. how well it works and what is broken), as well as
version history to see what has changed.

'doc/extensions.txt' will have information about how to create your own
extensions.

4. Contact info
---------------

Author of this magnificent and useful program is Heikki Kallasjoki
<fizban@fiiu.org>. E-mail is the best way to communicate, but IRC works
almost as well ('fizzie' at IRCnet).

I'd be delighted if people would send bug reports (or even patches?) or
other comments by e-mail. Anything is better than n * 100 messages of
BUGTRAQ.

If someone actually creates an extension for GLfunge98, please send it to me
and I'll include it to the distribution tree.
