OpenPTC 1.0 DOS Distribution Installation
-------------------------------------------


In order to use this distribution of OpenPTC you will need a
copy of Watcom C++ version 11.0. Also a version of nasm is necessary
for assembling the optimised color conversion routines (hermes).
No other compilers are supported at this point in time.

a) Build "ptc.lib" (release & debug)

   - go to a subdirectory with a makefile in it (any will do)
   - type "wmake" (this will build both release & debug libraries)


b) Enjoy compiling and running the examples and demos!

   - You can build the example programs by just entering the examples
     directory and type "wmake examples"
   - To build the demo programs go to the demos directory and type
     "wmake demos"

c) What if you cant get it to work??

   - You can get support on the newsgroup news.scene.org/coders.ptc
   - If you find a bug you can report it to news.scene.org/coders.ptc.bugs.
   - If you need some functionality in the DOS distribution that is
     missing, post a request to news.scene.org/coders.ptc.development
     and we will see if we can help you.
   - Remember that this is an alpha release only. Some problems and
     bugs are known to exist, and many others are undoubtedly lurking
     under the surface. By telling us about bugs promptly, we can fix
     them as fast as possible!


Good luck!
