======================================
-There are two IDE-files. One IDE-file should help you to create
-the wxWindows library from within the Ide of Borlands C++, v.
-5.x. The other one should help you to create most of the samples
-of wxWindows the same way.

+C++, v. 5.x. Note that this doesn't include debugging code: you
+need to change the settings if you wish to include debug
+information. Previously, bc32d.ide was supplied with debug
+settings, but this proved to time-consuming to maintain.
2. Where to install the files
=============================
-You should copy the file named wxwin32_lib.IDE to the

src-directory of your wxWindows-Installation (e.g. C:\wxwin\src).

3. How to modify them for your own needs
========================================
-If your wxWindows-Installation resIDEs on the same drive as your
+If your wxWindows-Installation resides on the same drive as your
Borland-Compiler and additionally the Borland-Installation is
the default (e.g. C:\BC5) then there should be no need to change
-anything. Otherwise please change the path from within the IDE
-(Options->project->directories). This should be very easy for
-the library-file. For the samples-file it can be neccessary to
-change the settings for all programms seperately, because there
-are local options for each of them. To do that, show the project
-so that you can see the list with all the programs, right-click
-onto each of them and choose local options. Then change the
-directory-names.

+To add a new sample to samples\bc32.ide, follow these steps:
+
+a. Choose Project->New target... and type in e.g.

+b. Static, no OWL, MFC or class libraries. Press OK.

+ add in Directories, specify the following:
