     With or without strong cryptography? You can choose either with or
     without strong cryptography, as per the instructions below.  By
     default, Python is built and distributed WITHOUT strong crypto.
 
-    Unpack into the dist\. directory, ensuring you expand with folder names.
-
-    If you downloaded with strong crypto, this will create a dist\db-4.2.52
-    directory, and is ready to use.
-
-    If you downloaded WITHOUT strong crypto, this will create a
-    dist\db-4.2.52.NC directory - this directory should be renamed to
-    dist\db-4.2.52 before use.
+    Unpack the sources; if you downloaded the non-crypto version, rename
+    the directory from db-4.4.20.NC to db-4.4.20.
 
-    As of 11-Apr-2004, you also need to download and manually apply two
-    patches before proceeding (and the sleepycat download page tells you
-    about this).  Cygwin patch worked for me.  cd to dist\db-4.2.52 and
-    use "patch -p0 < patchfile" once for each downloaded patchfile.
+    Now apply any patches that apply to your version.
 
     Open
-        dist\db-4.2.52\docs\index.html
+        dist\db-4.4.20\docs\index.html
 
     and follow the "Windows->Building Berkeley DB with Visual C++ .NET"
     instructions for building the Sleepycat
     software.  Note that Berkeley_DB.dsw is in the build_win32 subdirectory.

     is then enabled.  Running in verbose mode may be helpful.
