Introducing the source of deeper GRAAL understanding...


    ===============================================

              The GRAAL Herald, Issue 1

     (including GRAAL_2 beta 2 driver and editor)

    ===============================================


First of all, if you don't know what GRAAL is, then this is
not for you - check out game/role/Graal2a.readme first!

Still here? Good.

This is a combination of a GRAAL-driven demo and a diskmag, 
showing just how flexible GRAAL 2 is, and demonstrating
subjects not covered by the normal demo adventure in the
"Graal2x" archives. If you thought the GRAAL 2 adventure
demo was OK, just wait 'til you see what else GRAAL 2 can
do if you put your mind to it!


The archive should be unpacked to a hard disk drawer.
Make sure the FONTS: sub-drawer contents are copied
properly. Then click the GRAAL_2 icon, and away you go!


This archive includes slightly updated GRAAL_2 driver
and editor programs, containing some new features that
I considered essential to put in before the proper
GRAAL 2.0 release. They also contain some nice bug fixes, 
so everyone should replace their current "GRAAL_2 beta"
driver and editor with these "beta 2" versions.

Now I will not add any more features until the GRAAL 2.1
release (I think ;)

The new features:

* It is now possible to totally customise save/load as well
  as quit routines.

* It is now possible to use dialogues for player "multiple
  choice" input, not necessarily related to an on-screen
  dialogue between characters. Also makes it possible to
  conduct dialogues without the main character being
  shown on screen.

* If you run GRAAL from a write-protected medium, it always
  asks for a saved games diskette when loading and saving
  games. This means GRAAL games can now be put on CD-ROM
  with fully functional save/load routines.

* The editor can edit PATH:s, and also keep track of .room, 
  and .scene script numbers and contents in a much neater
  way.
