These are the actual codes that have been (or will be) presented on my
programmer's page at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/7113/

These files were modified from their original and compiled using Microsoft's
Visual C++ version 1.0.  If you are having trouble compiling these with your
version of Visual C++, it may be because your version does not support DOS
application development.  It is safe to assume that versions of Visual C++
of 5 and greater do not support DOS.  If I am incorrect about this assumption
please let me know.

The directories that have EXPL as the last four letters of it's name contain
example programs.  They have already been precompiled to EXE's that are also
located within their respective directories.  However, these can be compiled
into EXE's using the batch program MAKE.BAT (assuming that the directory
containing Microsoft C++ compiler is in your path).  To compile a particular
example program, switch to the directory containing this README.TXT file and
type:

MAKE progname

For example, to compile the TESTLINE.C program in the VGA_EXPL directory into
an EXE, type the following command from the directory containing this README
file:

MAKE VGA_EXPL\TESTLINE.C

The OBJ and EXE files will be found in the same directory containing the
README file ready to run.  Some programs require external data files (PCX
files or otherwise) in order to run correctly, these files must also be in
the same path as the EXE file.

Files contained the INCLUDE and SOURCE directories contain the functions
found in the library files of the LIB directory.  To compile these functions
use the COMPILE.BAT file.  For example to compile the VMODE.C file in the
SOURCE directory into an OBJ file (cannot be made into an EXE by itself) use
the following:

COMPILE SOURCE\VMODE.C

The result OBJ file can then be added to the library.  All SOURCE and INCLUDE
files have already been added to the GAMELIB.LIB file located in the LIB
directory so you need not recompile these files.  These instructions are
provided if you need to update any of these source files or add new ones.

The COMPILE.BAT and MAKE.BAT batch programs assume that you are using Microsoft
Visual C++ version 1.0 and the directory containing the executables for this
program is included in DOS's PATH line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT, if you are using
another version or brand of C compiler.  Open the MAKE.BAT and COMPILE.BAT
files into a text editor for a suggestion of changes for your compiler.

These files were last updated on September 5th, 1999.  To see if any updates
were made to these files since this date, point your web browser to:

Then go to the updates page.
