VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ------------------- Previous versions of this game used Borland's DOS extender, which crashed on some machines and behaved unpredictably on others. The present edition instead uses DJ Delorie's GO32 DOS extender, which is by all accounts a far superior piece of software. However, if you do have problems with the GO32 version, please let me know so I can try again. MORE ABOUT THE DOS EXTENDER --------------------------- The TADSR.EXE program used to run the game runs in 386 protected mode. This means that it requires a 386SX or later CPU to run. Furthermore, it needs a minimum of 4 megs of free hard disk space --- any less than that and you're taking your chances. (See the LEGEND.BAT file for more info.) To run the game, all you have to do is type "LEGEND" at the DOS prompt. The files GO32.EXE, TADSR.EXE, and LEGEND.GAM should be in the same directory you run the game from. The DOS extender will use as much memory as it can find; however, sometimes this still isn't enough. If you get a memory error, try booting your machine from a fresh system disk. Create one of these by typing the command format a:/s at the DOS prompt. HOW TO GET GO32 SOURCES ----------------------- You can get C source code for the GO32 DOS extender by FTP: oak.oakland.edu: simtel/msdos/djgpp/ GO32 can be used in conjunction with GNU CC and C++ for a Unix-like 32-bit development system.
