-
- You *need* go32 to run the a.out files though (well, you could write your
- own extender from scratch, but that wouldn't be much fun).
-
- As far as environment variables, the only ones you really need to run
- the resulting programs are:
-
- go32tmp=c:/tmp (to place paging file, though if not present TEMP and TMP
- will also be checked. If none present, current dir is used)
- go32=emu path/to/387emulator driver path/to/graphics/driver gw xxx gh yyy
-
- and these ONLY if you need 387 emulation, and/or using graphics. If you're
- not using any of these, you don't really need that variable. And it will
- default to 320x200x256 graphics if you are using graphics and don't define
- anything in that area.
-
- If what you mean, you really don't want to have to type 'go32 a.out' all the
- time, use the aout2exe program, and just copy go32.exe along with the resulting
- executable (making sure go32.exe is in the path somewhere, of course).
