+1. What you can do with this ide-files
======================================
-
-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.
+There are three ide-files. One ide-file should help you to create the wxWindows libraries from within the Ide of Borlands C++, v. 5.x. The second is called bc32d.ide and produces the debug-version of the wxWindows-library.
+If you want to produce the debugging-version, using the special ide-file bc32d.ide you have to create a seperate subdirectory \WXWIN_PATH\src\debug.
+The last one should help you to create most of the samples of wxWindows.
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).
-And the other file samples.IDE should be copied into the
-samples-directory (e.g. C:\wxwin\samples).
+You should copy the files for the libraries into the src-directory of your wxWindows-Installation (e.g. C:\wxwin\src).
+And the other file for the samples should be copied into the samples-directory (e.g. C:\wxwin\samples).
3. How to modify them for your own needs
========================================
+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). Because we use the $inherit-makro (Julian foung the trick), this should do the trick.
-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.

-4. How to create IDE-files for your own wxWindows-programs
+4. How to create ide-files for your own wxWindows-programs
==========================================================
-
-I think you are familiar with the necessary options for your own
-program. So I will only describe what is neccessary to link
-yout programm with the wxWindows-library. If you want to create
-a IDE-file for your own wxWindows-program, create a new project
-from the menu file->new->project. Deactivate all the
-standard-options, the only two things that should be activated is
-"static" for the libraries, if you want to use the library
-produced with the library-IDE and the checkbox OLE (You can
-leave this checkbox unchecked, but then you have to add the
-library \bc5\lib\ole2w32.lib to your project). You have to add
-the include-path of wxWindows to the include-path in the
-options-dialog (options->project->directories->include). The
-result should be something like:
-path_of_my_program;\bc5\include;\wxwin2\include; Then you have
-to add the libraries to the project. Open the project-view and
-activate your programm. Then right-click and choose "add" and
-select the wxWindows-library (e.g. \wxwin\lib\wx32.lib).
