 Notes:
   Lines preceeded by ">" are instructions to be typed on the command line. 
   On WinNT, make sure your system clock is not set to GMT (only worry about
     this if your makedepend seems out of sync, i.e. you constantly reinstall
     old files over more current ones).

   "Touch" doesn't quite work properly on WinNT or Win98 currently.
   Make sure you run ftp in "binary" mode to fetch tarballs.
   "ftp" doesn't currently read "backspace" in rxvt, so you'll just have to be
     precise at the ftp prompt for now ("delete" doesn't work either).
     If this really bugs you, you can create a shortcut on the Desktop to
     "tcsh.exe" and run ftp properly from there rather than from rxvt.
-  Occasionally, a freshly opened shell will hang in the middle of
-    attaching or something.  This appears to be a race condition in
-    cshrc that appears only on multiprocessor machines.  If this
-    happens, go ahead and kill the tcsh process (or ftp or rxvt
-    process) using the Task Manager and try again.
   Make sure your machine has enough disk space - I'd start with the largest
     open space on any of your partitions.
   Make sure your machine has networking (IP, gateway, etc.) so you can use
