dopewars and Microsoft Windows
 
-
dopewars now runs natively on Win32 systems (95, 98, NT, 2000). It runs by
-default as a dopewars client, using the familiar Windows interface. However,
-if you prefer the "original look" text mode interface, this is still
-available; just right click on a shortcut to dopewars, and add -t to
-the end of the command line. To run a dopewars server, add -s
-instead.

-dopewars uses the GLib library, which can

-tarball, extract the files, change into the created directory, run the
-configure script, and then make. This builds a native
-Win32 binary, which does not need the Cygwin libraries to run. See the
-INSTALL file in the source code distribution (.tar.gz file) for further

In virtually all respects, the Unix and Win32 versions of dopewars should be
 identical. Both will accept the same command line parameters and configuration

The dopewars server can function as a
+Windows service when run with
+the -N flag. One way to set this up is to use the
+sc create utility from a command prompt, e.g.
+
+
sc create dopewars binpath= "C:\Program Files\dopewars-1.5.12\dopewars.exe -N"

Note that this will run dopewars as the Local System user, so will look for

+directory, e.g. C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local.
