Installing the DOS version
--------------------------

In DOS, create a folder called 'agena' anywhere on your drive, change into this
directory and decompress the agena.zip file into this folder preserving the
subdirectory structure of the ZIP file.

Now set the environment variable AGENAPATH in the autoexec.bat file. Use a text
editor for this. For example, if you installed Agena into the folder c:\agena,
and the library.agn file is in the lib subfolder, enter the following line into
the autoexec.bat file (without the quotes):

           'set AGENAPATH=c:/agena/lib'

Note the forward slash in the path and the variable name in capital letters.

Also append the path to the folder where the agena.exe binary resides to the PATH 
system variable using backslashes, so that the entry looks something like this 
(without using quotes):

           'PATH C:\;C:\NWDOS;C:\AGENA\BIN'


Running Agena in DOS
--------------------

At least with Novell DOS 7, you must install CWSDPMI.EXE delivered with the DJPGG edition
of GCC as a TSR program before starting Agena. The binary can be found in the DJGPP
distribution available at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp.

In order to always load this TSR when booting your computer, open the autoexec.bat file
with a text editor. Assuming the CWSDPMI.EXE file is in the c:\tools folder, add the
following line (without the quotes):

           'loadhigh c:\tools\cwsdpmi.exe -p'

Novell DOS's command line history works correctly on the Agena prompt.

Have fun !



Compiling Agena in DOS
----------------------

The sources have been compiled successfully with DJGPP v2 for DOS.

CD into the src subdirectory.

Backup the file called 'makefile', and rename the file `makefile.dos`
to `makefile`.

First configure your installation by typing (without the quotes):

           'make config'

Now enter the statement to compile the sources (without the quotes):

           'make dos'


Compatibility
-------------

Agena runs successfully at least on the following DOS-based operating systems:

Novell DOS 7 update 14
FreeDOS 1.0 (*)

It should run on all other DOS systems, as well.


(*): Run in Sun VirtualBox 2.0.6 on Sun Solaris 10 x86.
