Hi there, I have just uploaded version 3.3h of GLE to HOBBES
and cdrom, incoming directories.       Stefan
   ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/gle33h*.zip
   ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming/gle33h*.zip

This is the OS/2 port of the Publication Quality Graphics package GLE, version
3.3h. GLE is written by Chris Pugmire, the OS/2 port has been made by Axel
Rohde, who encouraged me to upload it here. The manual has been rewritten and
extended by Stefan Mundt. See the doc file on details and credits.

The package was downloaded from ftp://tui.marc.cri.nz/pub/gle/os2/gle33h*.zip

The files you need are:
-rw-------   1 sad      1199856 Feb 20 12:09 gle33h1.zip (essential)
-rw-------   1 sad       348175 Feb 20 12:09 gle33h2.zip (essential)
-rw-------   1 sad      2601465 Feb 20 12:15 gle33h3.zip (optional)

The last file, gle33h3.zip, contains only an appendix to the gle 3.3h manual.
You don't need it to use GLE, but it contains font listings and such (and I
believe, some examples). This is a PostScript file of about 11 MB of size and
lives in tui.marc.cri.nz in pub/gle/manual. I am glad I have it, but again, it
is not absolutely essential. The manual is contained in one of the first two
files, also as PostScript file.

This version installs and runs w/o a problem, and w/o tinkering required. The
version 3.3g, which is still on HOBBES and cdrom, needed quite some of that
manual magic to work flawlessly, and it was also much slower than this one.

Have fun! StefanA. Deutscher              20-Feb-1996
