+and license in png.h
+
+As a PNG .dll demo VisualPng is finished. More features would only hinder
+the program's objective. However, further extensions (like support for other
+graphics formats) are in development. To get these, or for pre-compiled
+binaries, go to "http://www.schaik.com/png/visualpng.html".

+Assumes that
+
+ libpng DLLs and LIBs are in ..\..\projects\msvc\win32\libpng
+ zlib DLLs and LIBs are in ..\..\projects\msvc\win32\zlib
+ libpng header files are in ..\..\..\libpng
+ zlib header files are in ..\..\..\zlib
+ the pngsuite images are in ..\pngsuite
+
+To build:
+
+1) On the main menu Select "Build|Set Active configuration".

+ the "..\..\mscv" subdirectory.
+
+2) Select "Build|Clean"
+
+3) Select "Build|Rebuild All"
+

+
+
+To install:
+
+When distributing VisualPng (or a further development) the following options
+are available:
+
+1) Build the program with the configuration "Win32 LIB" and you only need to
+ include the executable from the ./lib directory in your distribution.
+
+2) Build the program with the configuration "Win32 DLL" and you need to put
+ in your distribution the executable from the ./dll directory and the dll's
+ libpng1.dll, zlib.dll and msvcrt.dll. These need to be in the user's PATH.
