+Windows 95/NT Specific Notes on Compilation
+
+Windows compilation has only been tested with Microsoft Visual C++ 
+Version 5 Standard Edition.  The PHP executable has only had limited
+testing under Windows 95.  SAFE MODE and any User or Group functionality
+has not been ported/tested.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Compiling PHP with MSVC5
+
+There are three msvc workspaces provided with this distribution.  The one
+most people will use is php3.dsw.  This contains project files for two
+versions on PHP, one with mySQL compiled internaly, and one without (both
+have ODBC internaly compiled).  It also contains all the modules.
+
+The next workspace is php3extras.dsw.  This project contains the converter
+and a program called phpwatch, which is a simple program to watch debugger
+output under windows.  The 'socket' program is also available from the php
+site, which is a better alternative to phpwatch.
+
+The third workspace is php3sapi.dsw.  These projects are experimental and
+will probably not compile most of the time.  It contains preliminary work
+on the server api's for windows.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Base Configuration and Configuration Issues
+
+*The base configuration for the windows php version contains odbc
+ support.  Support for other database modules will be provided as external dll files.  
+*ODBC can be used to connect to many of the databases previously 
+supported by php (though they can still be compiled in if you have 
+the libraries!)  
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Makefiles
+
+Be sure to edit any windows makefile and change the include directories
+to be appropriate for your system.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+CGI Version
+
+The makefile for the cgi version of php is located in the win32 
+subdirectory of the php source tree.  This make file is specificaly
+for Visual C++ V5.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ISAPI/NSAPI/WSAPI/Apache Versions
+
+These versions are not yet working.  They are located in the php3sapi.dsw
+workspace.
+
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Other Libraries
+
+See the php faq at php.net for information on where to obtain the various
+libraries needed to compile some modules.
