-The "win32" directory contains *.mak files for use with the NMAKE that
-comes with Visual C++ ver. 4.0 and above.  If you wish to build perl
-using Visual C++ versions between 2.0 and 4.0, do the following two
-additional steps (these steps are not required if you are
-using Visual C++ versions 4.0 and above):
-
-=over 8
-
-=item 1.
-
-Overwrite the *.mak files in the win32 subdirectory with the versions
-in the win32\VC-2.0 directory.
-
-=item 2.
-
-Reset your INCLUDE environment variable to the MSVC include directory.
-For example:
-
-	set INCLUDE=E:\MSVC20\INCLUDE
-
-This must have only one directory (a list of directories will not work).
-VCVARS32.BAT may put multiple locations in there, which is why this step
-is required.

-Type "nmake" while in the "win32" subdirectory.  This should build
-everything.  Specifically, it will create perl.exe, perl.dll, and
-perlglob.exe at the perl toplevel, and various other extension dll's
-under the lib\auto directory.  If the make fails for any reason, make
-sure you have done the previous steps correctly.
+Edit the Makefile and change the values of INST_DRV and INST_TOP
+if you want perl to be installed in a location other than "C:\PERL".
 
 =item *
 
-Type "nmake install".  This will put the newly built perl and the
-libraries under C:\PERL.  If you want to alter this location, to say,
-D:\FOO\PERL, you will have to say:
-
-	nmake install INST_TOP=D:\FOO\PERL
+If you are using Visual C++ ver. 4.0 and above: type "nmake".
+If you are using a Visual C++ ver. 2.0: type "nmake CCTYPE=MSVC20".
 
-instead.  To use the Perl you just installed, make sure you set your
-PATH environment variable to C:\PERL\BIN (or D:\FOO\PERL\BIN).

 If some tests do fail, it may be because you are using a different command
