Installation
1. Install DJGPP
2. Install Allegro
3. Copy DZComm zip file to the directory you unzipped the allegro tar file into.
4. Unzip the DZComm zip file making sure that the directory structure is preserved.
5. cd into the allegro directory (0.7.3) or the dzcomm directory (0.9.x).
6. For 0.7.3: type 'make -f makefile.dz' to build DZComm. It is advisable to make backup copies of your current files 'liballeg.a' before you install DZComm. (nb. makefile.dz is a tab-less makefile, so if you want to edit it just run any of your favourite text editors :)
6. For 0.9.x: type 'make' to build DZComm.
7. Check out the DZComm docs and examples; If it didn't quite work or if you have any unanswered queries about it mail me at neil@robots.ox.ac.uk and I'll try to help.
