Output of file : README contained in archive : D-FLAT.ZIP
March 14, 1991

The source files in this ZIP archive constitute the D-Flat
windowing system. Each month, I will replace this file to
reflect the changes made for the column that is under way.
This file will probably be ahead of the published columns;
it is March now, and I am writing the June column.

To build the D-flat software, unzip the archive into its
own subdirectory. You must modify the makefile to use either
Microsoft or Turbo C.

The makefile adjusts for Microsoft C 6.0 or Turbo C version
2.0 or later. To build with the Turbo C make utility, comment
out the first line in the makefile so that it looks like this:

#MSC = 1

and type this command:

C>make

To build with the Microsoft C nmake utility, make the first
line of the makefile look like this:

MSC = 1

and type this command:

C>nmake

The makefile makes a program named memopad.exe. It is a
multiple-document notepad program. To use D-flat for other
programs, you will probably want to put all the .OBJ files
other than memopad.obj into an object library.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
