    Assuming you are talking about Dan Lawrence's version (3.9e, 3.10i),
    there are two steps. Number 1 is to fiddle with the #include files
    so that the #defines contained therein fit the machine you want to
    compile for.

    Number 2 is to fix any problems that occur after attempting to
    compile that.

    I followed this procedure getting 3.10i over to my PS/2 at work -
    someone else had already done the grunt work, and it was just a
    matter of changing some #defines and changing something to do with
    addressing the display (the #defines didn't have the correct direct
    RAM address (haw, haw, reminds one of the Mac or 64 :) for the
    machine I was trying to run on, but I pulled that from some other
    software source I had).

    Funnily enough, I still use 3.9e at home on the Amiga, because the
    3.10i version didn't seem to work properly.
