+Compiling GNU Privacy Guard with Microsoft VC++ Version 7.1
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+This contribution allows GNU Privacy Guard version 1.2.3 to
+be compiled using Microsoft VC++ version 7.1 (together with
+the free NASM assembler). To use this version you will need
+to download the NASM assembler from:
+
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/nasm
+
+and place it in the 'bin' directory of your Microsoft Visual
+C++ installation (i.e where the VC++ compiler resides).
+
+This version of GNUPG does not support GNU gettext but is
+otherwise complete. It also uses my AES C code because this
+is a lot faster with VC++ (I also provide NASM assembler code
+which is even faster).
+
+To compile this code you need to obtain gnupg-1.2.3.tar.gz
+and expand it into a directory tree. This zip file must then
+be expanded so that the directory 'conf-win32brg' resides in
+the 'scripts' subdirectory of the gnupg directory tree. From
+the VC++ IDE the solution file 'conf-w32brg.sln' can then be
+opened and the projects built. The resulting executable files:
+
+gpg.exe
+ks_hkp.exe
+ks_ldap.exe
+
+are placed in the 'bin' sub-directory of the 'conf-win32brg'
+directory.
