 1) see what you have
 --------------------
 
 To compiler EPICS on WIN32, we need
 
-	WindRiver Systems Tornado (used: 1.0)
-	Microsoft Visual C        (used: 4.0)
+	WindRiver System's Tornado (used: 1.0)	(not required if host only build)
+	Microsoft's Visual C/C++   (used: 4.0)	(borland C++ rumored to work also)
 
 and some tools:
 
-	gnu make
-	perl
+	gnu make	www.gnu.org
+	perl 		www.perl.org	(used 5.003)
 
 The perl interpreter and gnu make are available 'on the net'
 as sources which compile with MS Visual C++.
 If you cannot/don't want to find them, contact me, please!
 
 2) set environment variables

 On NT, "Path" is defined by the operatin system, on Win95, it's "PATH" instead.
 
 MS Visual C and Tornado should be installed properly with
 these env. variables set:

-WIND_HOST_TYPE=x86-win32

 This way the EPICS makesystem can locate Tornado 
 without any changes to the files in base/config.

 3) building EPICS
 -----------------
 
 Prepare apx. 2 ltr. Tee and type:
 
 	cd <epics>/base
-	make 
+	make 			(use gnu make)
 
 Watch for errors and send them to me.
 
-There might be loads of compiler warnings.

+Known problems:
 * gnumake seems to be faster than WIN32 sometimes
   which results in warnings/errors like
   "file has modification date in the future"
