How to build drildump:

======================

  Under Unix: type 'make'. 

  Under DOS:  DRILDUMP.EXE was compiled with Pacific C; the command used 

  was PACC -Lf -Bl -D__MSDOS__ DRILDUMP.C

  Other platforms: Up to you.

How to use drildump:

====================

  If drildump is run with no arguments, it will try to list out the objects

in the file "driller.sna" in the current directory.

  If "driller.sna" is somewhere else, you can pass its path to drildump 

thus: "drildump /path/to/driller.sna".

  Standard drildump output is an ASCII dump. However, it can also be used

to produce output in POV-Ray format. Due to my inexperience with POV-Ray the

pictures aren't anything special, but there you go.

  To select POV output, use the option "-pov". This will produce a POV file

of the first room (Amethyst). To produce a POV model of another room, add

a "-room" option, eg "drildump -pov -room 5".

  If you're running under Unix and have POV-Ray installed, you can type

"make pictures" to produce pictures of all the locations in the game, in 

PNG format.

  Note that POV output displays *all* objects, whether visible or not. This

means that (for example) in Obsidian, the slab that's used as a bridge 

appears in both its "up" and "down" positions.

Dark Side / Total Eclipse

=========================

DRILDUMP includes basic support for these Freescape games. The database 

format is almost identical (in Dark Side, the gas rig coordinates are

used to extend the room name; in Total Eclipse, the room name is shortened

to 4 characters).

To dump Dark Side or Total Eclipse, add "-dark" or "-eclipse" to the end

of the command line. "make pictures" will also generate pictures from 

Dark Side, but not Total Eclipse.
