+                            Compiling CircleMUD
+                   under OS/2 Warp Connect v3.0 or 2.1
+                             by David Carver
+
+
+To compile CircleMUD under OS/2, you must have the following:
+All needed files can be found at the hobbes.nmsu.edu FTP site.
+
+
+* OS/2 Warp Connect Version 3.0, or OS/2 Version 2.1 with TCP/IP installed.
+  You should have at least 8 megs of memory.  (Circle runs quite well on an
+  8 meg machine).
+
+* An HPFS formatted drive.  CircleMUD needs to be uncompressed on an HPFS
+  drive because it uses long filenames.
+
+* The EMX09b runtime and compilation systems.  These are free and
+  can be downloaded by anonymous FTP at hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix/emx09b
+
+* The OS/2 port of GNU's GCC compiler.  This can also be found at
+  hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix/emx09b.  Please make sure you have the most
+  recent version of the GCC compiler for OS/2, as files needed by CircleMUD
+  were not included in earlier versions of GCC for OS/2.  The current version
+  is 2.7.0
+
+* GNU's TAR and GZIP programs to decompress the necessary files.  Again 
+  these can be found at hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/unix.
+  **** You only need this if you plan on getting some of the various
+  **** addons for Circle that others have coded.
+
+* A MAKE program.  Either the GNU Make, or IBM's NMAKE should work.  You 
+  can obtain the NMAKE from either IBM's Developers kit or from
+  hobbes.nmsu.edu in os2/16dev.
+
+
+Installation:
+
+***  IMPORTANT
+***
+***  You must have EMX and GCC installed and the directories in your
+***  PATH and LIBPATH statements in your CONFIG.SYS.  Please read the
+***  EMX installation instructions included with that package for more
+***  information on how to install both EMX and GCC.
+
+Download the ZIP archive of Circle and use your favorite UNZip utility
+to extract it.
+
+After you have uncompressed the files, switch to the directory that has
+the CircleMUD files in it, and then to the SRC subdirectory.  Rename
+the following files:
+
+Rename 'conf.h.os2' to 'conf.h'.
+Delete the old 'makefile', and rename 'makefile.os2' to 'makefile'.
+
+To compile the MUD type the following at an OS/2 command line:
+
+NMAKE /i
+
+CircleMUD will be compiled and the executable will be put in your current
+directory.  Copy the CIRCLE.EXE file to the circle30\bin directory.  Then
+follow the CircleMUD instructions in README on how to start up the MUD.
+
+NOTE: General questions about CircleMUD can be addressed to the author,
+Jeremy Elson, at jelson@circlemud.org.  However, all questions which
+specifically deal with the OS/2 port of Circle should go to my address,
+listed below.
