After thinking about I started reformatting the source code and revamping Makefiles. What the hell is "masm" anyway? :) Who ever heard of wcc386? :) If it builds ok. We will see.... I have "Porting Unix Software". In any case I will learn more about my system. One of the things that will have to be worked out is the DOS4GW protected mode wathyamajigger and handling SVGA doohickey. I guess linux has an SVGA lib which might be used. Either that or the game would have to be ported to X to grab the root window. I really don't know what I am getting into, but what they hey. It's my system and my hobby. It should be fun.
