 The following sections explain how to compile wxWindows with each supported
 compiler.

-Using project files (VC++ 6 only):
+Please note that the VC++ 6.0 project files will work for VC++ .NET also, but
+you must open the .dsp files and not the .dsw files and in this case you will
+need to manually build the other .dsp on which.wxWindows.dsp depends: jpeg,

+Also note that you might make the project files work with VC++ 5 but you'll

+Using project files (VC++ 6 and later):
 
 1. Unarchive wxWindows-x.y.z-vc.zip, the VC++ 6 project
    makefiles (already included in wxMSW-x.y.z.zip and the setup version).
