Hi, and welcome to ISL v1.0!

What is is?  ISL is the Imagine Staging Language, a language create to
make the creation and manipulation of Imagine 2.0 staging files a whole
lot easier.

Who needs it?  You do, if you are an Imagine user who is not satisfied
with the Action editor, and aren't afraid to try something new!

How much does it cost?  Nothing.  Nada.  Not one red cent.  This is my 
little contribution to the Imagine user community.  What's a few thousand
lines of code between friends?  :-)  It may be freely distributed, as long
as it is not sold for more than media cost.  I require that you not charge
for it's use or sale and that you keep all the pieces together.  I also ask
that you give me a little credit if you use it for anything neat.  I'd also
like to hear from you at one of the e-mail addresses below if you use it -
it's always nice to hear!  Bug reports should go there, too.

Keep what pieces together?  Well, this file, for one thing.  Also:

	name		size

	destage		22964		the de-compiler
	restage		46748		the re-compiler
	ISL.doc		6155		the docs
	ISL.BNF		5839		the grammar
	frames.c	2392		a sample c stage producer
	ArexxISL.lha	6490		two sample Arexx scripts

Now what?  Get it, enjoy it, and have a great day!
