Program:

The Dungeon v9.0; compiling instructions.

You should have the following BASIC source code files for the dungeon:

  dungeon.bas
  ansi.bas
  help.bas
  util.bas

The dungeon will work without the supplementary programs. The compiler used
for the dungeon programs is Microsoft (c) Professional BASIC Development
System v7.1 with the following library files:

  bcl71enr.lib

The Segmented-Executable Linker v5.10 was used to link the object files into
the dungeon executable programs.

With the required files installed in one directory, the compile batch
program, Compile.Bat, is used to create the dungeon programs. Enter one of
the following commands to compile the programs:

  compile dungeon
  compile ansi
  compile help
  compile util

After entering the batch command, you should have one of the programs:

  dungeon.exe
  ansi.exe
  help.exe
  util.exe

The dungeon creates players.dat file which stores 1,000 players, and
dungeon screen files for each player: datafile.00x, where the extension
is the zero-padded player's index from the player.dat file. This way
the player's each has their own set of data stored after exiting the
dungeon. Each datafile file can store 32,767 dungeon levels. The
datafile files can be deleted. The player will only lose their
dungeon level data. Deleting the player.dat file can also be done.
