Installation

  * For Linux and Cygwin - type 'make'.   

  * For FreeBSD - type 'gmake'.
  
  * For Windows using Borland/Embarcadero - ensure the /Embarcadero compiler bin 
    directory is in your path, then type 'make -f makefile.bor'.
    - All executables will be linked with the RTL and without debugging symbols.
      To link a static executable   -   use 'make -f makefile.bor -DSTATIC'.
      To include debugging symbols  -   use 'make -f makefile.bor -DDEBUG'.
      Or for both                   -   use 'make -f makefile.bor -DDEBUG -DSTATIC'.

  * For Windows using Digital Mars - ensure the Digital Mars bin directory 
    is in your path, then type 'make -f makefile.dgm'.

  * For Windows using Microsoft Visual C - ensure your Visual C bin directory
    is in your path and your INCLUDE and LIBS environment variables are setup
    correctly.
    - With Visual C++ 6.0 you may need to run the vcvars32.bat file.
    - With Visual C++ 2010 Express and the Microsoft SDK you may need to use both 
      the setenv.cmd and vsvars32.bat
    Then type 'nmake -f makefile.vc'
    - To link with debugging information type 'set DEBUG=1' and then use
      'nmake -f makefile.vc'

  * For Windows using LCC - ensure the LCC bin directory is in your path, 
    then type 'make -f makefile.lcc'.  

Read the readme file and files in the doc directory on how to use it.  

Note that some of the utilities have problems.  The delplay utility on
Windows needs some fixing to work.  The nightrun script does work
correctly on linuxes but you'd probably want to modify it.

This code and my changes are released under the original conditions of
the Dikimud license which are found in doc/license.doc.

Enjoy.
