PDCurses for DOS
================

This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to DOS.


Building
--------

. Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:

	bccdos.mak	- Borland C++ 3.0+
	gccdos.mak	- DJGPP V2
	mscdos.mak	- Microsoft C
	wccdos16.mak	- Watcom 10.6+ (16-bit)
	wccdos4g.mak	- Watcom 10.6+ (32-bit)

. For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL in the makefile.
  (Large model is the default, and recommended.)

. Optionally, you can build in a different directory than the platform
  directory by setting PDCURSES_SRCDIR to point to the directory where
  you unpacked PDCurses, and changing to your target directory:

	set PDCURSES_SRCDIR=c:\pdcurses

. Build it:

	make -f makefile

  (For Watcom, use "wmake" instead of "make"; for MSVC, "nmake".) You'll
  get the libraries (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler; and
  panel.lib or .a), the demos (*.exe), and a lot of object files. Note
  that the panel library is just a copy of the main library, provided 
  for convenience; both panel and curses functions are in the main 
  library.


Distribution Status
