be used with NMAKE to build the various programs.  Most subdirectories also
have a file, 'readme.nt' that describes the changes that were made in porting
and contains other comments.

If you make changes to the programs -- bug fixes, improvements, whatever,
please send them to me, t-davefe@microsoft.com so that we don't have a whole
bunch of different versions floating around.

address them to us at Microsoft, rather than to the original authors.

    This is a port of the curses to Windows NT. The version of Curses
    included is a port of the PCCurses program. This is a *working* version
    of curses.  All of the i/o calls have been implemented using Win32
    console calls.  This version isn't perfect -- it's still buggy, but
    you should be able to link it in with your curses based app and get it
    to work.

    This is a port of the Xlib library to Windows NT. This is the source
    code for an xlib for Win32; not a complete xlib implementation, but
    one that some have found useful.

    This is a port of the sendmail utility to Windows NT.
