Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):

- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.

  Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They
  depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part
  of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the
  binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA.
  You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this
  will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system.
  Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0
  and earlier.

- Cannot build in a separate directory.

- Build instructions:

   Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities
   ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this
   can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat
   In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc

- Installation:

   Either:

        Copy gperf.exe to your program repository.

   Or:

        nmake -f Makefile.msvc install prefix=InstallBaseDirectory
