 0) what you will get
 --------------------
 
 Right now this port of EPICS to WIN32 should allow you to
 
-* compile almost all EPICS base using Tornado, MS Visual C
-  and some additional tools: gnumake, a UNIX-like shell, awk, sed, ...
-  (See below where to get these.)
+* compile almost all of EPICS base using {Tornado, MS Visual C, perl,
+  GNU make} (only {MS Visual C, perl, GNU make} if you prefer
+  to compile only the host portions of EPICS base).
 * load EPICS on a PC IOC (486, pentium),
   load simple databases
   (no drivers/devices for real I/O available, yet.

+	Microsoft Visual C        (used: 4.0)

-All the above except. the shell are available 'on the net'
+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!
 
-I could not find a shell that's fully operational.
-The best one seems to be the Cygnus bash for WIN32, though it
-still has errors and doesn't come with sources that compile
-under MS VC++.
-I use a small self-written shell called knts,
-again: Contact me if you need it.
-
-* The final solution to make the shell, basename, date, ...
-* obsolete:
-* Use 
-* 1) no shell scripts
-* 2) Perl which is available for Unix and WIN32
-
-In addition we need some binaries that I have no sources
-for, yet, but that come with Tornado if and only if you
-INSTALL THE FULL PACKAGE (!)
-Including the 'WTX Test Suite i386/i486'
-(under "Select Sub-components" when installing Tornado)
-
-You should find in your <Tornado>/host/x86-win32/bin dir:
-
-	awk, cat, cp, rm, mkdir
-
-(There is also a bash and a GNU-make which are really poor,
- and WindRiver told me that they do not consider to support
- those in the future, so I no longer use them.)

 2) set environment variables
 ----------------------------
 
 Your path should include:
-- The EPICS-binaries that we are about to build in base/bin/WIN32
-- The NTtools that you've built in step 1
+- The EPICS-binaries that we are about to build in <EPICS>base/bin/WIN32
 - The System (for me it's in NT40...)
 - The MS Visual C compiler binaries
-- The Tornado binaries
 
 Check with e.g.:
 
-/users/kay/Src/epics/nttools >echo $Path
-c:\users\kay\src\epics\base\bin\WIN32;c:\users\kay\src\epics\NTtools\bin;C:\NT40

 MS Visual C and Tornado should be installed properly with
 these env. variables set:

 3) building EPICS
 -----------------
 
 Prepare apx. 2 ltr. Tee and type:
 
 	cd <epics>/base
-	gnumake
+	make 
 
 Watch for errors and send them to me.
