Setting up the z88dk for Windows9x         ; By Henk Poley ;        05-jun-2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To begin with, these steps have only been tested on Windows95 & 98 (Lite),
but they should work on other (Windows) platforms as long as they have
32bit DOS capabilities and long filenames. Maybe you will need to add
entries to the PATH and environment variables in a different way than
described here, because AUTOEXEC.BAT is no longer in use (Windows
ME/NT/2000/XP), please revert to the manuals if it doesn't seem to work
this way. You could also ask us, the makers of the z88dk, off coarse...

This is going to be a step-by-step guide, please don't feel embarrassed.

First unzip all files in the archive to a directory. We will call this
directory from now on {z88dk}. Now you will need the Windows executables
from which a link can found on the z88dk's website
(http://z88dk.sourceforge.net/). Unzip the files into {z88dk}\bin.

Now for the following steps open your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you will find it
in your C:\ directory. If it isn't there, create it.

Then search for the line beginning with "PATH" or "SET PATH=". Add
{z88dk}\bin\ to it, you will get a line like the following. Note that you
need to separate different entries with a colon ';' (in this case {z88dk}
is "c:\dos\z88dk").

PATH	c:\dos\tools\;c:\dos\z88dk\bin\

Now we have to setup where the z88dk needs to look for it's data files
(libraries, assembly and config files needed during compile time). Add the
following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT (remark that all "DOS" backslashes
need to be turned into "unix" slashes):

SET	Z80_OZFILES = {z88dk}/LIB/
SET	ZCCCFG = {z88dk}/LIB/CONFIG/

You will get for example:

SET	Z80_OZFILES = C:/DOS/Z88DK/LIB/
SET	ZCCCFG = C:/DOS/Z88DK/LIB/CONFIG/

Save your new AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root (C:\).

Now you need a text-editor that can search-and-replace in more documents
at one time (like TextPad or UltraEdit, search for them at
http://www.downloads.com/). We need this when editing the config files.
You could also only change the config (*.cfg) files of the platforms you
will work with, you will then only need Notepad or similar programs. Open
a DOS-window and type:

cd {z88dk}
cd lib
cd config
copy *.lnx *.cfg

Now go to {z88dk}\lib\config within Windows. Select all .cfg files and
open them with the text-editor. If it doesn't open them in the right
program, hold shift down and right click on the files. Chose "open
with...", then deselect the "use always" selection, and select your
program, then press "OK".

Now find the search-and-replace utility in your text-editor. Replace the
following (can also be done manualy on one file):

cp      -> copy
DESTDIR -> {z88dk} (remove the "DOS" backslash at the end!)
/       -> \       ("unix" slashes into "DOS" backslashes)

Restart your PC and there you go. For info about using the z88dk please
revert to other documentation found in the {z88dk}\doc\ directory, like
compile.txt and zcc.html.
