+baseProject is a template for starting a Torque2D game from scratch.
+
+1. Copy this "baseProject" directory to wherever you want to create the project.
+2. copy the following files from your Torque2D original source to your copy of baseProject:
+	* OpenAL32.dll
+	* unicows.dll
+
+3a) copy the engine into "baseProject" as well.
+  To do this you may need to obtain or compile a copy.  Either
+	* copy the game engine Torque2D.exe (for Windows) or Torque2D.app (for Mac OSX). Or
+	* compile the original (or modified) Torque2D engine.  Then copy it.
+3b) alternatively you may want to copy the original (or modified) "engine" directory  to "baseProject" and build and modify your copy as part of this project.
