  I just uploaded my game to x2ftp.oulu.fi.  It has complete DJGPP 
source, which may or may not be helpful to anyone, but feel free to check 
it out.  It should be moved into the msdos/programming/gamesrc directory 
sometime soon.  It's called boboli.zip, and the long description (below) 
forgets to mention this: UNZIP WITH -d for directories!!!!  Don't forget, 
or the game will crash, and you will be confused and email me, and will 
feel stupid when I tell you why.

BOBOLI THE MIGHTY KNIGHT
------------------------
By Mike Hommel

  A top view action dungeon-crawl type game (similar perhaps to Gauntlet, 
but with items, inventories, and attributes), playable over a null modem 
cable (provided the two computers are using opposite com ports).  
Complete source, including all graphics libraries and such, is included.
It's in protected mode C (DJGPP).  Demonstrates a sprite system, tiled 
scrolling, PCX loading, COM port handling, and of course game stuff.  
Very minimally commented, though- you may not get much out of the source 
to the game.  But the libraries should be fairly understandable.  I hope.
  This is what-the-hell-ever-ware.  Do what you want with it.  I would 
like to hear questions and comments, though, and see whatever you do with 
it, if you actually do something interesting.
