   MSVC 6 IDE
   ----------
   MSVC IDE
   --------

   A minimal VC++ 6.0 reference workspace (vc6curl.dsw) is available with the
   source distribution archive to allow proper building of the two included
   projects, the libcurl library and the curl tool.
   A fairly comprehensive set of Visual Studio project files are available for
   v6.0 through v12.0 and are located in the projects folder to allow proper
   building of both the libcurl library as well as the curl tool.

   1) Open the vs/vc6/vc6curl.dsw workspace with MSVC6's IDE.
   2) Select 'Build' from top menu.
   3) Select 'Batch Build' from dropdown menu.
   4) Make sure that the eight project configurations are 'checked'.
   5) Click on the 'Build' button.
   6) Once the eight project configurations are built you are done.

   Dynamic and static libcurl libraries are built in debug and release flavours,
   and can be located each one in its own subdirectory, dll-debug, dll-release,
   lib-debug and lib-release, all of them below the 'vs/vc6/lib' subdirectory.

   In the same way four curl executables are created, each using its respective
   library. The resulting curl executables are located in its own subdirectory,
   dll-debug, dll-release, lib-debug and lib-release, below 'vs/vc6/src' subdir.

   These reference VC++ 6.0 configurations are generated using the dynamic CRT.

   Intentionally, these reference VC++ 6.0 projects and configurations don't use
   third party libraries, such as OpenSSL or Zlib, to allow proper compilation
   and configuration for all new users without further requirements.

   If you need something more 'involved' you might adjust them for your own use,
   or explore the world of makefiles described above 'MSVC from command line'.
   For more information about these projects and building via Visual Studio
   please see the README file located in the projects folder.
