This is a port of Jansson 2.13.1 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


Jansson is a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data.
Its main features and design principles are:

     Simple and intuitive API and data model
     Comprehensive documentation
     No dependencies on other libraries
     Full Unicode support (UTF-8)
     Extensive test suite

Jansson is licensed under the MIT license; see LICENSE in the source
distribution for details.



   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================

   - The library requires an entropy source to seed the hash function.
     This can either be a driver or a random data file.  On plain DOS
     one such driver, NOISE.SYS, can be obtained from:
       http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html
     as:
       http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/noise063a2.zip
     Please read the instructions carefully.  This driver works on DOS
     and may be on some versions of Windows but it does not work for all
     versions of Windows.  For XP it does not work and I have found no
     replacement.  Alternatively a random data file can be used.
     It will be found by the library at run-time by evaluating the
     RANDFILE environment variable.

   - There are no user visible changes.  Only small changes have been
     done to get the library compiled.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3 and Win98SE.
     There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-
     like OS.  Due to the use of long file names it will not be possible
     to configure and compile without LFN support.  The port has been
     compiled using gcc346 and bnu2351b.

   As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored
   in the "djgpp" directory.  The sources have been configured to be build
   in the "_build" directory.  If for some reason it does not work for you,
   delete its contents and configure from scratch again.

   Please read the docs to become familiar with this product.
