This is a DOS build of the SCARE 1.3.10 source code, created using DJGPP.

DOS SCARE is text-only, with no support whatsoever for Adrift graphics or
sound.  There are two alternative executable programs: scare.exe, and
glkscare.exe.

The simplest is scare.exe.  It is built with SCARE's ANSI interface, and so
provides no support for a command history or editing the input line, nor any
colors, fonts or text styles, or timed delays.

The other, glkscare.exe, is built with SCARE's Glk interface, and linked with
L. Ross Raszewski's GlkDOS library and with PDcurses.  It offers a command
history and line editing, some simple text styling (limited somewhat by the
capabilities of DOS), and timed delays.

Building ANSI DOS SCARE requires the standard SCARE source base, and a
specialized makefile, included in this archive as makefile.dos.  It's not the
last word in DOS makefile tidiness, but gets the job done.

Building Glk DOS SCARE requires everything for ANSI DOS SCARE, and also GlkDOS
header files, a GlkDOS library, and the PDcurses library.

The resulting DOS SCARE executables, as is common with DJGPP programs, depend
on DPMI.  Most DOS emulators, including those of Windows, provide this, but if
you are working with a DOS that does not, you will need to obtain an external
DOS DPMI server.  The one supplied with DJGPP, CWSDPMI by Charles W Sandmann,
is an ideal choice in this situation, and readily available from the DJGPP
download sites on the Internet.
