The source code is provided as-is and you may do with it whatsoever you
please provided that you include this file in its unmodified form with
any new distribution. NewCreature Design makes no gaurantees regarding

you might run into. Please see the "Contacting Us" section of this
document if you need to get in touch with us about any issues you have
regarding the source.


Compiling for Windows
---------------------

The Windows version can be compiled with the free MinGW32 compiler. You'll also
need the FMOD and Allegro 4.0 libraries installed. Type "make win" from the
command prompt while in the "source" sub-directory. The compiled executable
will be placed in the "bin\win" sub-directory.


Compiling for DOS
-----------------

The DOS version can be compiled with the free DJGPP compiler. You must have the
C++ compiler installed. Just type "make dos" from the command prompt while in
"source" sub-directory. The compiled executable will be placed in the "bin\dos"
sub-directory.


Compiling for Other OSs
-----------------------

You'll need Allegro and the proper tools to make Allegro work. See the Allegro
readme for your platform for information on what you need to compile this. Once
you have the proper tools, type "make port" from the "source" sub-directory.
The compiled executable will be placed in the "bin/port" subdirectory.
