+  This file describes how to compile the package for Win32 systems using
+Microsoft Visual C compiler. Note that I don't have it and Microsoft doesn't
+offer reduced versions for free like Borland does. For this reason this
+target ever lags behind. I need volunteer to test this target periodically.
+  Note: Some time after writing it Microsoft released a reduced and free
+version of the compiler, but only for Windows 2000 and newer systems. I
+don't have access to such a version of Windows.

+
+
+
+1. INTRODUCTION
+
+  This target is supported because users helped to make it possible. If you
+find any problem just do the same the other users did: help to fix them.
+  You can also create Win32 versions of this package using BorlandC Builder,
+Cygwin, Open Watcom or MinGW.
+  Versions 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 compiled the code.
+  Modern versions of Visual Studio doesn't seem to include nmake tool. A quick
+and incomplete, but useful, method to compile the code is in the section 5.
+
+
+2. HOW TO COMPILE
+
+  You can use the unified make system:
+
+nmake -f Makefile.nmk
+
+  If it fails you can try using the old mechanism explained in
+winnt/readme.txt
+
+
+3. INSTALLATION
+
+  Currently this target needs manual installation. You can also use the files
+without installing just providing the paths to the compiler.
+

+
+
+5. USING VISUAL STUDIO AND NOT NMAKE
+
+1) create a new project: 'Visual C++' -> 'General' -> 'Empty Project'
+
+2) add to 'Source Files' folder in your VS Project:
+
+\tvision => *.cc
+\tvision\classes => *.cc and *.cc of all its subdirs
+\tvision\compat => *.cc and *.c
+\tvision\names => *.cc
+\tvision\stream => *.cc
+
+3) go to 'Project' -> 'Properties'. Choose 'All Configurations'. Go to
+'C/C++' -> 'General' -> 'Additional Include Directories'. Add the following
+directories there:
+
+\tvision\include and all its subdirs
+\tvision\winnt\include\msvc
+
+4) copy the file \tvision\winnt\include\tv\configtv.h to \tvision\include\tv
+
+5) now you can build the library in Debug and Release mode
+
+6) now just add your source file with your main() function to your VS project
+and compile it.
