! Building Python using VC++ 6.0 or 5.0
 -------------------------------------
 This directory is used to build Python for Win32 platforms, e.g. Windows
! 95, 98 and NT. It requires Microsoft Visual C++ 6.x or 5.x.
 (For other Windows platforms and compilers, see ../PC/readme.txt.)

! All you need to do is open the workspace "pcbuild.dsw" in MSVC++, select
! the Debug or Release setting (using Build -> Set Active Configuration...),
! and build the projects.
