DIRECTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~

In order to build NCBI toolkit:

1) copy MAKE\makefile.dos to your NCBI root directory

2) if necessary, modify path to your BORLAND or MSVC++ toolkit
   at the very beginning of the "MAKE\ncbimake.bat" file:
        set __PATH_16=c:\msvc
        set __PATH_32=c:\msdev
        set __PATH_BOR=c:\bc45

3)   from your NCBI root directory, run:
        MAKE\ncbimake.bat XXX YYY ZZZ copy

   where XXX, YYY and ZZZ specifies(see Usage):
"Usage:"
"  ncbimake {16|32|BOR} {W|C} {O|D} [copy]"
"  [16]/[32]-bit MSVC++;  [BOR]land-32bit"
"  [W]indows/[C]onsole application"
"  [D]ebug/[O]ptimized version"
"  [copy] -- deploy all sources"

E.g., to deploy the NCBI toolkit sources for
MSVC++ 32-bit (32), GUI (W), optimized (O) application
use:
        MAKE\ncbimake.bat 32 W O copy

two new directories will be created and filled with necessary source files:
        BUILD.32W
        INCLUDE.MSW

4) now go to the new "BUILD*.*" directory and run "ncbimake.bat"
   with the same options but the "copy".

E.g., for the case described above, go to "BUILD.32W" and run:

         ..\MAKE\ncbimake.bat 32 W O


TIPS
~~~~

*1*) Console applications are now available for 32-bit MSVC++ only!
*2*) The files like "flag*.*" in your "BUILD*.*" directory(ies) are
     designed to protect you from running "ncbimake.bat" with
     wrong options(i.g. mixing optimized and debugging versions
     of NCBI toolkit, etc.).
*3*) Exit from Norton Commander before running "ncbimake.bat" --
     as NC has not enough space for environment variables used
     within "ncbimake.bat".
