+BUILDING GPSBABEL WITH Microsoft Visual C++:
+
+This directory contains the necessary files to build GPSBabel with 
+Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0 and above.  The project and workspace
+files should just work, provided that the "msvc" directory is a direct
+child of the directory that contains the GPSBabel source.  (This is where
+it should be, by default, so you shouldn't have to do anything other than
+load the workspace and hit "build all.")  If you load these files in to 
+Visual Studio .NET, you may be asked to convert them to the new format; 
+In that case, you should do so.
+
+The "Expat" directory contains the import library and header file for the
+Expat DLL.  This may or may not be the latest build of Expat; you might 
+want to check http://expat.sourceforge.net to see if there is a more recent
+version.
+
+To run GPSBabel, you must make sure that the libexpat.dll from the Expat
+directory is in the DLL search path.  The easiest way to do this, and to 
+avoid version conflicts with other programs that use expat, is to put 
+libexpat.dll in the same directory as gpsbabel.exe.
+
+If you experience any problems with this project file or with the build 
+process, please ask for assistance on the gpsbabel-code mailing list at
+http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gpsbabel-code .
