From 82be264b1cf85bed0f09732f2f577bb9b6d2e585 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Griffith Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2019 18:11:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add mention of compile-time options for the DOS interface. Disabling sound and/or Blorb support should be necessary only with 8088/8086 machines with very limited memory. A maxed-out IBM PC or XT should not need these to be disabled. --- DOSBUILD.txt | 9 +++++++++ Makefile.tc | 1 + 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/DOSBUILD.txt b/DOSBUILD.txt index b7332d8..3660323 100644 --- a/DOSBUILD.txt +++ b/DOSBUILD.txt @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ To compile DOS Frotz, you need the following: * PC-DOS, MS-DOS, or DR-DOS version 5.0 or higher.
