This is the Windows 3.1 and WIN32 Distribution of V Version 1.17.

Windows specific files for Borland 5.0 are kept on BCCIDE. That
directory includes .IDE files for Borland C++, .RC, .DEF, and
.ICO files. The project files assume that BCC is on drive C:.
If you have BCC 4.5, or keep BCC on a drive other than C:, then
you will have modify the project files to change the include
file search paths. Note that the BCC 5.0 project files only work
for WIN32. I couldn't get BCC 5.02 to compile the 16 bit version.
There is a project file for BCC 4.5 that builds a 16 bit version.

Watcom project files are found in the WATCOM directory.
There are various subdirectories with different WIN32 and
Win3.1 project files.

This distribution now includes make/project files for Microsoft
VC++. There are 16 bit versions for MSVC 1.52, and for
MSVC 4.0, which were built using the cheap Standard Edition.
They should be compatible with the expensive later version.

This version has been reported to work with the MINWING32 distribution,
although I'm still working on a specific set of inctructions.

The .ZIP file will unarchive to a \V directory.

On the ftp site, ftp://objectcentral.com/verf117.dvi.gz
is a DVI format file of the reference manual. There are
various utilities available for viewing and printing DVI
files on Windows. Try dviwin29.zip, available under the dosutils
directory on the ftp site, or other various Windows ftp sites, 
such as ftp.cdrom.com.

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to compile V with a different compiler, it isn't
too hard. To build the library, you include ALL the files in
the [v\srcwin] directory. Specify  [v\includew] in the include
search path. V has been designed to work only with the LARGE
model for Win3.1. It works with whatever calling convention
you need for WIN32.

There are some make files for VC++ and Watcom C++ in the
CONTRIB directory.

All the demo programs will compile using the V library
and the files included in the various directories.
