+Win32/README.txt
+27 June 2008
+
+The resource files zip.rc and windll.rc must not get edited and saved from
+MS Visual Studio. MS VS automatically re-adds its specific MFC-related resource
+infrastructure to the "xx.rc" files when saved after any modification. The
+dependancies on MFC related headers break the compilation process, when you
+try to use the freely available MS Visual Studio Express Editions (2005 or 2008)
+for building Zip. And, most third-party compilers also lack support for the
+propietary MFC environment.
