If you have Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0

The Winseed distribution does not come with a project file for the IDE in order to increase the probability that the software can be built out of the box with more than one version of Microsoft's compiler. In other words you can either create a new project and import the source files into it or you can use the command line tools. Before you can use them you have to set up the command line environment of Visual C++ in the DOS box you are using by calling vcvars32.bat (This batch file should be in the bin direcotry of Visual C++). Then change to the directory into which you extracted the Winseed files and type nmake /A. This should rebuild all Winseed files and should create the Winseed DLL, the import library and the test program (tester.exe) inside of the bin directory. The installation of Winseed is straightforward: Simply copy the DLL and the import library to a suitable location.
