PDCurses for DOS

This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to the VGA-capable DOS port.

Building

Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:

  Makefile     - DJGPP
  Makefile.bcc - Borland C++
  Makefile.wcc - Watcom

For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL as a command- line option. (Large model is the default, and recommended.) With Watcom, specifying "MODEL=f" (flat) will automatically switch to a 32-bit build.
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".) You'll get the library (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler) and a lot of object files. Add the target "demos" to build the sample programs.

You can also give the optional parameter "WIDE=Y", to build the library with wide-character (Unicode) support:
```
  wmake -f Makefile.wcc WIDE=Y
```
(WIDE=Y is untested on the Borland compiler.)

The font can be set via the environment variable PDC_FONT. The font must be in the PSF format, version 2.

The files in this directory are released to the public domain.
