No, that's not important for now....(only for better than 320x200x16 colors).
Re: the -d switch and unzipping...that part is correct...however, what
UNZIP program did you use?  You **MUST** use UNZIP for OS/2 (I forgot the
earliest version that'll work...but it says in the INSTALL.DOC file found
seperately, or within emxdev.zip I believe).

You will...there's a utility called 'bake' (better make) that works quite
well for me at least, it saves spending just as much time writing makefiles
as spent coding...
