-=================================================
-
-(For historic reasons this uses the filename "vc40"; it has been tested
-most recently with VC 4.2. See ../PCbuild for VC 5.x.)
-
-NOTE: VC 4.2 support is eroding, as I no longer have a VC 4.2

-The distributed Makefile is vc40.mak. This file is distributed with
-CRLF line separators, otherwise Developer Studio won't like it. It
-will NOT work from this PC directory. To use it, first copy it to the
-Python distribution directory, e.g. with this command:
- copy vc40.mak ..
-To convert the Makefile into a project file, start Developer Studio,
-choose Open Workspace, change the file name pattern to *.mak, find and
-select the file vc40.mak, and click OK. Developer Studio will create
-additional project files vc40.ncb and vc40.mdp when you use the
-project. The project contains six targets, which should be built in
-this order:
-
-python15 The Python core as a DLL, named python15.dll.
-
-python The Python main program, named python.exe. This should
- work as a console program under Windows 95 or NT, as well
- as under Windows 3.1(1) when using win32s. It uses
- python15.dll.
-
-_tkinter The optional _tkinter extension, _tkinter.dll; see below.
-
-All end products of the compilation are placed in the subdirectory
-vc40 (which Developer Studio creates); object files are placed in
-vc40/tmp. There are no separate Release and Debug project variants.
-Note that the python and _tkinter projects require that the
-python15.lib file exists in the vc40 subdirectory before they can be
-built.

-*** How to build the _tkinter extension ***
-
-This assumes that you have installed the Tcl/Tk binary distribution for
-Windows 95/NT with version numbers 7.5p1/4.1p1, in the default
-installation location (C:\tcl). (Ftp to ftp.sunlabs.com in /pub/tcl,
-file win41p1.exe.) You must also fetch and unpack the zip file
-vclibs41.zip which contains the files tcl75.lib and tk41.lib, and place
-those files in the PC subdirectory. In order to use _tkinter, the
-Tkinter.py module must be on PYTHONPATH. It is found in the
-Lib\tkinter subdirectory.
