There is also a Win32 version (win95 and NT) available as a separate
 package at  <     www.winsite.com/info/pc/win95/games/lc108.zip/index.html  3 or follow the Win32 link from the LinCity home page   &     www.floot.demon.co.uk/lincity.html  G XLin City V 1.09 port under OpenVMS                       December 1997 # ===================================   J Xlincity is a city simulation game, very similar to Simcity, available for@ Linux and various Unix systems, and now for OpenVMS VAX & Alpha.  
 Installation:  ------------  L To load and save scenes (cities), you need gzip installed on your VMS systemJ (however, without gzip you can play with xlincity but you cannot save yourI cities). Scene files are very big (near 1 Mbyte each, and the compression ! is very efficient on such files).   * Xlincity needs some logical names to work:  J LINCITY_DIR, a system wide rooted logical name pointing the location where  Xlincity data files are located.  L LINCITY_SAVE_DIR and LINCITY_SAVE_OLD, two user logical names in the process- table. You need to define them at login time.   K SETUP_VMS.COM DCL procedure gives you an example of an automatic definition J of these logical names (if you invoke this procedure, you can use XlincityL using the provided distribution, the save directories are located under your SYS$LOGI directory).  B To make a regular installation of Xlincity, you must copy the fourB subdirectories [.HELP], [.ICONS], [.MESSAGES] and [.OPENING] under9 LINCITY_DIR:[000000] and also copy the colour table file:   8 Example (you are located into the lincity distribution):  8 $ define/sys/trans=conc lincity_dir disk:[toto.lincity.]+ $ backup/log [.help]*.* lincity_dir:[help]* - $ backup/log [.icons]*.* lincity_dir:[icons]* 3 $ backup/log [.messages]*.* lincity_dir:[messages]* 1 $ backup/log [.opening]*.* lincity_dir:[opening]* ' $ copy colour.pal lincity_dir:[000000]* , $ set prot=(w:re) lincity_dir:[000000...]*.*  D Example of definition of user logical names under the home directory+ (put the code in LOGIN.COM or SYLOGIN.COM):    $ mydir = f$trnlnm("SYS$LOGIN") 0 $ mydir = f$extract(0,f$locate("]",mydir),mydir)& $ def LINCITY_SAVE_DIR 'mydir.LINCITY]* $ def LINCITY_SAVE_OLD 'mydir.LINCITY_OLD]   Rebuild: -------   K You need DEC C++ 5.2 and DEC C 5.2 to rebuild Xlincity under OpenVms 6.2 or K higher. It is probably possible to build under previous versions of VMS and M previous versions of DEC C and DEC C++ (at least 5.0) but you need to provide K some unix functions not available with these prehistoric versions (at least 9 getopt). You recompile with COMPILE_DECCXX.COM procedure.   @ Object files are provided for these who just want to relink (use LINK_{VAX|AXP}.COM procedure.    Running: ------- L The standard screen is rather small and not easy to read. You can double the< size (in X and Y) to fill a 1280x1024 screen with -d option:  
 $ xlincity -d   N When running xlincity for the first time, you are prompted for the creation of the LINCITY_SAVE_DIR directory.    Enjoy !!   Patrick Moreau pmoreau@cena.dgac.fr moreau_p@decus.fr * http://www2.cenaath.cena.dgac.fr/~pmoreau/
