+About Win32++\r
+-------------\r
+Win32++ is simple and easy to understand framework for developing Win32 \r
+applications using C++. It brings an object oriented approach to programming \r
+directly with the Win32 API. Each window created is a C++ class object capable \r
+of having its own window procedure for routing messages.\r
+\r
+Win32++ supports the following compilers and development environments:\r
+* Borland C++ Compiler 5.5\r
+* Borland Developer Studio 2006\r
+* Dev-C++\r
+* Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\r
+* Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition\r
+* Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition\r
+* Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition\r
+* Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0\r
+* Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2003\r
+* Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2005\r
+* Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2008\r
+* Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2010\r
+* MinGW compiler\r
+\r
+Win32++ supports the following operating systems\r
+* Windows 95\r
+* Windows 98\r
+* Windows ME\r
+* Windows NT 4\r
+* Windows 2000\r
+* Windows XP   (32bit and 64bit)\r
+* Windows 2003 Server (32bit and 64bit)\r
+* Windows Vista        (32bit and 64bit)\r
+* Windows 2008 Server (32bit and 64bit)\r
+* Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit)\r
+* Windows CE from WCE400 (Windows mobile 2003) to WCE600 (Windows mobile 6)\r

+Getting Started\r
+---------------\r
+Each file download includes the project files for Dev-C++, CodeBlocks and the\r
+various compilers from Microsoft. CodeBlocks is an IDE (Integrated Development\r
+Environment) that supports GNU GCC, Borland Developer Studio 2006 and Microsoft\r
+C++ Toolkit 2003.\r
+\r
+You  can start with one of the sample programs, and add your code. Alternatively\r
+you can start with the projects and sample code provided in the "new projects" \r
+folder. \r
+\r
+For additional information on getting started, refer to the help included\r
+in the documentation.
