Please note that the VC++ 6.0 project files will work for VC++ .NET also.
-Also note that VC++ 5.0 also works if you are lucky enough to have the now
-unavailable Service Pack 3 is installed (vssp3_1.exe). See note(5) below.
+VC++ 5.0 can also be used, providing Service Pack 3 is applied. Without it
+you will have trouble with internal compiler errors. It is available for
+download at: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/visualstudio/sp3/full.
Using project files (VC++ 6 and later):
files from an existing wxWidgets sample and adapt them, or
visit http://wiki.wxwindows.org/wiki.pl?MSVC.
-Note (5): Unfortunately for VC++ 5.0 users, Microsoft made SP3 unavailable at
-the end of 2005. VC++ 5.0 also lacks a file wxWidgets uses "oleacc.lib", which
-came with the Platform SDK, also now unavailable for VC++ 5.0. Oleacc.lib is
-not needed unless wxUSE_ACCESSIBILITY is set to 1 in include\wx\msw\setup.h,
-so if you do not need this file you could remove it from the project's link
-settings.

+Compiling using the makefiles:
1. Change directory to build\msw. Type 'make -f makefile.bcc' to
make the wxWidgets core library. Ignore the compiler warnings.
Note (3): If you wish debug messages to be sent to the console in
debug mode, edit makefile.bcc and change /aa to /Tpe in link commands.
-Compiling using the IDE files for Borland C++ 5.0: not supported - please
-use version 2.4.1 (using the make utility in commandline mode works fine_
+Cmpilation succeeds with CBuilderX personal edition and CBuilder6, but
+you may have to copy make.exe from the 5.5 download to the new bin directory.
+Compiling using the IDE files for Borland C++ 5.0 and using CBuilder IDE
