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

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