Instructions


Compiling

To compile SNAKE, just use Turbo Pascal from the TP/ directory. It’s TP
3.0A for CP/M-80, only without the demo source code.

-   Copy the TP files together with the SNAKE.PAS files to one disk
-   The terminal definition is already set to ANSI and the speed is set
    to 8 MHz (for a standard RC2014), so running TINST is not needed
-   Run Turbo Pascal using TURBO
-   Set the compiler options to “compile -> Com-file” (press O, C, Q)
-   Compile SNAKE.PAS: press C (Compile), then enter snake as Work file
    name.

This should result in a SNAKE.COM file.
