   Ok so I followed the Makefile convention and created a new Makefile for DJGPP   
   much like the others so that part is the same.   
      
   WATT32 needs to be placed in a directory with the same parent as binkd. I   
   build it myself and there are instructions on how to do so here   
   http://watt-32.net/   
      
   c:\src\binkd   
   c:\src\watt   
              \lib   
              \bin   
              etc, etc,   
      
   I used the DJGPP 7.2.0 build from here   
   https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/releases   
      
   As for a DOS environment I used MS-DOS on real hardware but I suspect a VM   
   would be fine. As for setting up a packet driver that is far too much to be   
   explained here since it depends on network card. There is enough information   
   abound on the internet about setting that up accordingly.   
      
   One caveat at the moment is the Makefile has directives to build for pentium   
   architectures and you might need to change it to suit your needs.   
      
   If I can help in any other way, ask away.
