+ cscope for DOS using DJGPP
+------------------------------------
+
+*) You need a rather recent DJGPP version and tools
+ installed. For running cscope on DOS, be sure you
+ have:
+
+ * GNU ed for cscope's automated editing of files. It's quite likely
+ you didn't have this installed, unless you're a collector of Unix
+ tools.
+
+ * an editor or viewer to be used as a child program when you open
+ a match, inside cscope. DJGPP-compiled versions, if possible.
+
+ Choose either
+
+ -- `less' if you're content with viewing the file
+ -- some version of `vi' (VIM, Elvis, or NVI) use cscope in it's
+ "classical" way
+ -- GNU Emacs for the full glory :-)
+
+ Set the environment variable CSCOPE_EDITOR or EDITOR to the name
+ of the editor you want to use. You may want to create a [cscope]
+ section in your djgpp.env file, if you know how to do it.
+
+ For more details what cscope is, and how to use it, see the
+ documentation in the root directory of the cscope sources, or the
+ man page.
+
+*) For compiling cscope from sources, you need a much more complete
+ collection of GNU development and commandline tools, in addition
+ to the above, and the obvious GCC and binutils:
+
+ * bash
+ * make
+ * flex
+ * bison
+ * sed
+ * patch
+ * fileutils (cp, ln, ...)
+ * textutils (cat)
+
+ Optionally, if you plan to modify the sources.
+
+ * autoconf
+ * automake
+ * Perl
+
+ These are the ones I'm sure you need --- I may have overlooked some.
+
+ The DJGPP source packages is already configured, so you can just
+ run 'make' to get the package. Then
+
+ make install prefix=d:/djgpp"
+
+ (or wherever else your DJGPP is) to install it.
+
+ Or cd to the top source directory and execute the supplied
+ djmake.bat:
+
+ cd d:\djgpp\contrib\cscope
+ packages\msdos\djmake.bat
+
+ and watch it compile. This will be necessary if you made any
+ substantial changes to the sources.
+
+Have fun with it. In case of problem, mail to djgpp@delorie.com (or the
+attached Usenet newsgroup) or file a bug report at cscope's page on
+Sourceforge.net.
