-************************************************************************
-*  HDF5 Build and Install Instructions for Windows XP with MSVS 6.0    *
-*                       (Short Version)                                *
-************************************************************************
-
-Notes: To ease the building process for current versions of Visual
-      Studio, 6.0 is set to be depreciated in future releases.  This
-      means that project files are being converted to .Net format, and
-      will not be backwards-compatible with Visual Studio 6.0.  
-      
-      Users who wish to continue to use Visual Studio 6.0 may choose
-      not to upgrade to future versions of HDF5.  However, it is
-      recommended that all users consider making the switch to a
-      more current version of Visual Studio.  An express version of
-      Visual Studio 2005 is available free from Microsoft, and is
-      full compatible with HDF5.
-      
-      
-
-      This short instruction is written for users who want to quickly
-      build HDF5 library and tools from the HDF5 source code package
-      with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 but do not want to know HDF5 
-      building and installation details on Windows XP.
-         
-      For detailed HDF5 build and install information, or if you have
-      trouble following any steps in the instructions, please refer to
-      INSTALL_Windows.txt for further information.
-      
-      For users who would like to build and test HDF5 package from the
-      command line, please refer to
-      INSATLL_Windows_From_Command_Line.txt.
-        
-WARNINGS:
-
-Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and 
-notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
-
-========================================================================
-               STEP 1: Building HDF5 Libraries and Tools
-========================================================================
-    
-1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
- 
-   Go to  c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat. 
-
-2. Open all.dsw workspace
-     
-   Open the c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows_vs6\proj\all\all.dsw workspace. 
-
-3. (Optional) Disable C++ related projects
-    
-       Remove the following projects from project "all" dependencies 
-       ONLY if you prefer not to build HDF5 C++ libraries
-        
-          dsets_cpp
-          dsets_cppdll
-          hdf5_cpp
-          hdf5_cppdll
-          testhdf5_cpp
-          testhdf5_cppdll
-          hdf5_hl_cpp
-          hdf5_hl_cppdll
-          hl_test_table_cpp
-          hl_test_table_cppdll
-        
-4. Select "Build", then Select "Set Active Configuration".
-
-   In "Project configurations", select the active configuration
-
-	    "all -- Win32 Debug"
-               
-               or
-
-	    "all -- Win32 Release"
-	        
-   Then build project "all".
-
-
-========================================================================
-               STEP 2: Testing HDF5 Libraries and Tools 
-========================================================================
-
-HDF5 libraries and tools should be tested to make sure that they were
-built correctly.
-
-HDF5 libraries and tools can be tested with hdf5check.bat batch file 
-in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
-
-hdf5check.bat has four options:
-   
-   hdf5check                     test HDF5 C library and tools only
-      
-   hdf5check enablecpp           test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools
-         
-   
-
-Invoke a command prompt and run hdf5check with appropriate
-options.
-
-Test results are saved in two files:
-
-   c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tests_results.txt   
-
-   c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\check_results.txt.
-
-In general, you only need to check tests_results.txt.  If all the
-tests passed, then you do not have to check check_results.txt.  
-If some tests failed, check check_results.txt can help you
-figure out what was wrong.
-
-========================================================================
-                 STEP 3: Installing HDF5 Libraries
-========================================================================
-
-Run the batch file c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\installhdf5lib.bat to install 
-all HDF5 libraries and tools into c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\hdf5lib directory.
-
-========================================================================
-               STEP 4: Building HDF5 Examples (Optional)
-========================================================================
-
-Please read about building examples in the main document, INSTALL_Windows.txt.
-Note that these instructions use Visual Studio .Net project files.  However,
-similar 6.0 project files exist in the "windows_vs6" directory.
