In Three Steps Begin Programming With XBLite

1. Download xblite_142.zip

This is the most up to date version of the XBLite Programming Language download file. It contains the XBLite compiler, XSED code editor, utilities, demos, source code, and the XLBLite HTML Help reference manual.
    
Unzip all of the files in the archive in your root directory, eg c:\, while maintaining the folder names.  This will install the files to an \xblite folder. A file archiving and compression utility such as WinZip can easily do this. Then make sure to read the Getting Started section of the XBLite HTML Help file.

2. Download win32hlp.exe

The Win32 Programmers Reference win32.hlp is an invaluable resource for programming under all 32-bit Windows OS's. It contains information on functions and types found in the key win32 libraries such as gdi32.dll and user32.dll.
