-Microsoft Visual C++ Version 1.5 (16-bit Windows)

-=================================================

-

-Since VC++1.5 does not handle long file names, it is necessary

-to run the "makesrc.exe" program in this directory to copy

-Python files from the distribution to the directory "src"

-with shortened names.  Included file names are shortened too.

-Do this before you attempt to build Python.

-

-The "makesrc.exe" program is a native NT program, and you must

-have NT, Windows 95 or Win32s to run it.  Otherwise you will need

-to copy distribution files to src yourself.

-

-The makefiles are named *.mak and are located in directories

-starting with "vc15_".  NOTE:  When dependencies are scanned

-VC++ will create dependencies for directories which are not

-used because it fails to evaluate "#define" properly.  You

-must manaully edit makefiles (*.mak) to remove references to

-"sys/" and other bad directories.
