Further development of M.E.K.A. has been abandoned.


Usage

Working name for an AGI interpreter based on the work done by J. Moller, L. Ewing, and P. Kelly, thus the name M.E.K.A. (A is Adventure). These three formed the AGI group and did the bulk of the initial investigation but we have since been grateful to the others who have joined the team in a practical way.

Copy MEKA.EXE to your AGI game's folder.

CD to that folder and run MEKA from the DOS command prompt. If you get the following error:

Load Error- No DPMI

copy CWSDPMI.EXE to the same directory and run MEKA.EXE again.
