DOS Retro Computer development library designed to provide low level access to retro computer graphics hardware, audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, fixed point and vector math.
RETROLIB is written in C(99) and 8086 assembly language using the Zed Editor with the Open Watcom 2 Compiler and tested with Doxbox-X and EMU86.
Check out the Wiki for details on setting up Open Watcom 2 and CMake on Linux and Mac OS X.
