 7  Here are some instructions on compiling circlemud using Borland C++ 5.01. 
 8  These instructions will not work using Turbo C++, or the 4.0 versions of
 9  Borland C++ as those two products were geared twoards DOS and Windows 3.xx. 
10  
11  It will most likely work with versions 5.00, 5.02, and 5.5 of the Borland
12  C++ compilers. 
13  
14  Boot up your Windows 95 machine.
15  
16  Unzip your CircleMUD package.
17  
18  Goto a DOS prompt, and change to the circle \src directory. 
19  
20  (Type) rename conf.h.win conf.h (Enter)
21  
22  ** BORLAND 5.5 **
23  If you are using Borland C++ 5.5, a couple of extra changes need to be
24  made at this time.  First you have to make sure the bin directory of the
25  tools is in your path.  You can add the following line to your autoexec.bat
26  to have it automatically added to your path or you can type it at a DOS
27  prompt:
28      path = %path%;c:\borland\bcc55\bin
29  
30  (Type) make -fmakefile.bcc55 (Enter)
31  
32  ** BORLAND 5.1 **
33  (Type) make -fmakefile.bcc (Enter)
34  
35  ** End Version Specifics **
36  
37    Something to note here is that these makefile 
38    assume that you have installed Borland C++ 5.x
39    to the C: drive.  If you have installed it to
40    another drive you will have to open up the correct
41    Makefile in a text editor and find and replace
42    all C:\ references to the drive letter it has
43    been installed to.
44  
45  (Type) move circle.exe ..\ (Enter)
46  
47  (Type) cd .. (Enter)
48  
49  (Type) circle (Enter)
50  
51  The game should start loading the zones and database.  You will no longer be
52  able to type in this DOS box. 
53  
54  Click on START and then on RUN.
55  
56  (Type) telnet localhost 4000 (Enter)
57  
58    The first one to logon becomes the Implentor.
59    Also remember that you are using Windows95's
60    built-in telnet program which is very basic.
61  
62  Pat yourself on the back.
