+   Section VIII : How to build Multi-threaded version of HDF5 library  
+========================================================================
+
+Notes: Preconditions and Section I also apply to this section. Users who 
+       want to build Multi-threaded version of HDF5 library, please read 
+       those two sections carefully before go to the following part.
+              
+1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
+
+   Go to  c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat. This
+   process will copy all the necessary batch files,windows specific 
+   source codes and text files saved under c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows 
+   directory to the corresponding directories under hdf5.
+  
+2. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
+    
+   Invoke Microsoft Visual C++.  From the main menu, go to "File"
+   and select the "Open Workspace" option. Then open the
+   c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.dsw workspace. 
+
+   You should find windows project files listed as "all files, 
+   big files etc." on the left.        
+
+3. Please refer to Section II, Step 3(3) to set the dependencies of 
+   project "all.dsp".
+
+4. Change Project settings
+
+   Choose "Project"->"Settings", 
+   In the left pane of the window "Project Settings",  from the drop 
+   down box to the right of "Setting For:", choose "Win32 Release"; 
+   Highlight all of the static project file in the left lower pane 
+   by pressing "ctrl" key while clicking the project file name.
+     
+   In the right pane of the "Project Settings" window, choose "C/C++".
+   From the drop down box to the right of "Category",  choose 
+   "Code Generation", under "Use run-time library:", 
+   "Single-Threaded" should appear. If it is blank inside this
+   box, check if you highlight some dll project files. Change 
+   "Single-Threaded" to "Multithreaded".
+    
+   In the left pane of the window "Project Settings",  from the drop 
+   down box to the right of "Setting For:", choose "Win32 Debug"; 
+   Highlight all of the static project file in the left lower pane 
+   by pressing "ctrl" key while clicking the project file name.
+     
+   In the right pane of the "Project Settings" window, choose "C/C++".
+   From the drop down box to the right of "Category",  choose 
+   "Code Generation", under "Use run-time library:", 
+   "Debug Single-Threaded" should appear. If it is blank inside this 
+   box, check if you highlight some dll project files. Change
+   "Debug Single-Threaded" to "Debug Multithreaded"
+     
+5. Go back to Section II, Step 1 (4), continue to build and test HDF5 library.
