The source files in this 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 May now, and I am writing the August column.

To build the D-flat software, modify the makefile to use 
Microsoft or Turbo C, or use the PWR.BAT and MEMOPAD.PRJ
files to use Power 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

To build with the Power C compiler, ignore the makefile and
type this command:

    C>pwr

The build makes a program named memopad.exe. It is a
multiple-document notepad program.

My CompuServe ID is 71101,1262. I monitor the DDJFORUM every
day and prefer that you discuss D-Flat there so that every one
can benefit from your comments.

Observe the #define VERSION statement in dflat.h. The version 
number should correspond with the n in the D-FLATn.ARC filename 
that you downloaded. Check the uploads periodically to see if
there is a more recent version available.
