MSVC specific information


-----------
MSVC notes
-----------
The MSVC support is average. Currently as of writing, Windows Allegro does
not support looping and bidirectional samples. That means that your mods will
not be played properly under JGMOD until the 2 types of samples is supported.

This library has been tested on MSVC 5 and 6 so far.


---------------
Compiling JGMOD
---------------
This distribution is made for DJGPP compilation straight out of the box.
You need to run 'fixmsvc.bat' first before enabling MSVC compilation.
After that switch to jgmod\src director and run make. At the end of the
make process, the header and library files will be automatically copied
to appropriate directory in MSVC directory.

If you want the examples to be compiled also, then switch to jgmod/examples
directory and run make again.


-----------
Using JGMOD
-----------
Include jgmod.h after including allegro.h. For example,

#include <allegro.h>
#include <jgmod.h>


Make sure you include jgmod.h after allegro.h. Otherwise you will get a
error message when compiling.

    For MSVC version, link libjgmod.lib before alleg.lib.
    For example,

    libjgmod.lib alleg.lib


If you upgrade or downgrade your Allegro or JGMOD to newer or older wips or
something, then you need to recompile JGMOD. Just type "make veryclean" to
delete all those objects and executable files. Then type "make" to recompile.
