+PLIB for Windoze.
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Let me first say that I (Steve Baker) don't own a copy
+of Windoze - so I have little or no ability to help
+Windoze owners with PLIB problems. It's especially
+important therefore that you direct problems and
+queries to the PLIB mailing lists.  Subscription
+information is on the PLIB homepage:
+
+   http://plib.sourceforge.net
+
+
+CygWin:
+~~~~~~~
+The simplest way to build PLIB for Windoze is to
+use the CygWin compiler and toolset.  Since that
+environment is pretty close to UNIX/Linux, the
+
+  ./configure
+  make
+  make install
+
+...mechanism works perfectly.
+
+
+MingW32:
+~~~~~~~~
+A couple of people have asked about doing a MingW32 port - but
+as far as I can tell, the "configure/make/make install" approach
+*should* work.
+
+
+Microsoft Visual C++:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+All you need to do is open the workspace "plib.dsw" in MSVC++,
+select the "plib" project (using Set Active Project in the Project
+menu), and build it (using "Rebuild All" in the Build menu).
+
+In the examples folder, open the workspace "plib_examples.dsw".
+Each example has a seperate project in the workspace.  Select
+the one you want and build it.  Then you should be able to hit
+the Go icon on the toolbar and try it out.
+
+For your own application, please note that the plib workspace 
+leaves all the necessary includes (*.h) and libraries (*.lib)
+in the plib root directory (same as workspace).  The debug
+libraries are given a '_d' suffix.  Where ever you put those
+files, make sure #include <plib/ul.h> works so your code is
+more portable.
