Ok, so, having given up on Cygwin, I shelled out and got Microsoft Visual C++, which is alot prettier, and compiled fairly successfully. However, the coding does not include the commands.dat file. Can I pick this up? Or do I have to create a new one? Or what? In simply instructions for the terminally dense please.

You need a lot more than that - skills.dat, socials.dat, various race and class files, empty player directories, and so on.

Go to the downloads link on this page, navigate to the SMAUG section, and download the first link (SMAUG executable). That has all those files in it.

Simply replace the .exe file with the one you compiled, but you need the other files and directory structure as set up there.

After that, set Visual C++ to place the .exe into the appropriate directory after each compile, and you are ready to compile-and-test.
