If you are a C programmer, you may find the included source code interesting
and/or useful as an example for writing your own XSDK and/or SMB utilities.
MAKEFILE is for use with Borland C++ v3.x or v4.x and the Synchronet XSDK
to create SBL.EXE. SBL.C and SBLDEFS.H must also in the current directory when
MAKE is run.
The SMB C library (SMB_120.ZIP) is required to compile SBL2SMB.C and SMB2SBL.C
(MAKE.BAT included to compile them).
SBL2TXT.C is included as an SBL.DAB to SBL.TXT converter.
Makefile is for use with Borland C++ or C++Builder and the Synchronet XSDK
to create SBL.EXE. GNUmakefile is for use with the GNU C Compiler.
And sbl.dsp is for use with Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0.
