NAME
       gl-117 - an OpenGL action flight simulator


SYNOPSIS
       gl-117 [-dlevel -h -v]


DESCRIPTION
       gl-117  is  an OpenGL and SDL based action flight simulator written in ISO C++.  Enter the Eagle Squadron
       and succeed in several challanging missions leading though different landscapes.  Five predefined  levels
       of  video quality and an amount of viewing ranges let you perfectly adjust the game to the performance of
       your system.  The game provides joystick and mouse support, sound effects, and music.


OPTIONS
       -dlevel
              Set the debug level to level in [0..5]. '0' means quiet and will avoid any output,  '1'  will  log
              fatal errors causing the program to crash on stderr, '2' will also print exceptions on stderr, '3'
              will add warnings on stdout, '4' prints additional information (predefined)  on  stdout,  and  '5'
              gives developer specific messages on stdout.

       -h     Print a short summary on stdout and then quit immediately.

       -v     Display the version number of gl-117 and then quit immediately.


CONFIGURATION
       gl-117  uses  a predefined working directory ".gl-117" in the user's home directory to load and store all
       savegame files and read the plain text configuration files "conf" and "conf.interface".  If there are  no
       config  files  available,  gl-117 will create them using standard settings. The contents of the files are
       quite self-explanatory.


DOCUMENTATION
       Please look at the gl-117 user manual (gl-117.pdf) for installation  instructions  and  further  gameplay
       related descriptions.
