This README file is based on Paul Murray's last couple of readme files. This is a version of Zangband-2.1.0b1 compiled for Win32. Zangband 2.1.0b1 is based on Angband 2.8.1, for which no ext-win archive is available, therefore I have used main-win.c and angband.rc from 2.8.2. (The menu structure changed between 2.8.1 and 2.8.2, which means that without matching up the correct versions of main-win.c and angband.rc, the menus will not work correctly.) Note that Zangband seems to want the lib/xtra/* files in lib/font/, so I have made it happy and put them there. Graphics support is compiled in, but without an updated graphics set will be incorrect. Sound support is compiled in, but has not been tested. I have tested in wizard mode and the "malignant black aura bug" appears to be fixed, the program will run and save and reload files. The program was compiled with Borland C++ 5.0 on NT 4.0. For questions about the compilation mail bjudd@alum.mit.edu, for any other questions refer to the Readme file inside the archive. -Brian Judd
