Introduction
============

  Z80-Pascal aims to create a Pascal compiler for Z-80 based devices, such as
  MSX, ZX Spectrum, Game Boy and many others.

  We're working on it in our free time, so it evolves sssslooooooowwwwlyyyy.
  Please, don't ask when it will be finished because we have no idea at all.

============
Installation
============

  You must compile it:

  1.- Be sure you have all you need: Free Pascal compiler and/or Lazarus IDE.
      May be you can use Delphi but we didn't test it yet.

  2.- Open a console and go to the project directory.  In most cases just use
      "cd project".

  3.- Execute "fix.bat" on Windows or "./fix.sh" on GNU/Linux and follow the on
      screen instructions.

  4.- Execute the "make" command.  This should create the compiler executable.
      Execute "make help" to see all available options.

  5.- For the IDE, open the "z80pide.lpr" file at z80-pascal/src/ide with
      Lazarus, check the project options and the compiler options to be sure
      the directory paths weren't twisted and compile.

  See the docs/internal directory for several documents about internal
  descriptions.
