       - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0

    SUMMARY
    =======

    The files on the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version 1.0 for Windows
    distribution disks are compressed, and therefore a file cannot be
    merely copied from the floppy disks to replace one that was
    accidentally damaged or deleted. MS-DOS version 6.0 and Windows
    version 3.1 have a utility program EXPAND.EXE, which can be used to
    decompress files from the setup disks.

    MORE INFORMATION
    ================

    The program EXPAND.EXE can be found in both the Windows and MS-DOS
    subdirectories on most systems. MS-DOS and Windows have slightly
    different versions of this program but both versions decompress the
    MSVC files. EXPAND.EXE is an MS-DOS program and must be run from the
    MS-DOS prompt. The following command line expands a file from disk 1
    of the Professional Edition disk set:

       expand a:\mfc\errata.wr_ errata.wri

    The first parameter is the file to be expanded; the second is the
    output file. In this example, the output file is placed in the current
    drive and directory. Compressed files on the installation disks have
    an underscore (_) as the last character of the file extension.

    To locate a file in the disk set, see the PACKING.TXT file on disk 1.

    Some files cannot be installed in this way. The libraries, for
    instance, are created during setup. The Setup program runs the library
    manager to build the desired libraries from component files. Use the
    Setup program to re-install libraries.
