To build the slang library using visual C do this at the "cmd" prompt:

    cd \path\to\slang2
    cd src
    mkfiles\mkmake WIN32 VC < mkfiles\makefile.all > makefile
    make

See mkfiles\README for more information.

Then I would do more or less the same from the slsh directory located
at the top of the slang tree to create a makefile for slsh.  You might
want to use that makefile as a template for building other slang
applications.

Someone did send me such a file once but it was huge,
incomprehensible, and unmaintainable from my point of view.  I find my
makefile.all mechanism to be far easier to deal with for the purpose
of supporting multiple compilers under DOS/Windows.

Good luck,
