+BUILDING FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS
+==============================
+
+You can perform the build using either MinGW or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
+
+       Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
+       ----------------------------
+       
+       Open the solution in msvc/mtx.sln.
+       
+       Select the Build / Build Solution menu item.
+       
+       
+       MinGW with GCC
+       --------------
+       
+       You must be using at least version 2.16.91 of binutils.
+       
+       To generate the intitial configure script, this only needs to be 
+       done once.
+       
+       ./configure --host=mingw32
+       make
+       
+CHANGES FROM UNIX
+=================
+
+The only difference is in the naming of devices.  On Linux the changer is 
+accessed using /dev/sg<N>, on Windows you use Changer<N>.
+
+On Linux the tape drive is referenced using /dev/nst<N>, on Windows you use Tape<N>.
+
+There is one exception in the case where there isn't a driver loaded for the device.  
+This is usually only the case on Windows 2000 or if the Windows XP or Windows Server 
+2003 system supplied driver has been disabled.
+
+In the case where there is no driver loaded you can access the device directly 
+through the SCSI driver using the following notation:
+
+       <port>:<bus>:<target>:<lun>
+       
+               Port is the adapter number
+               Bus is the SCSI bus number relative to the adapter
+               Target is the SCSI device's target ID
+               LUN is the SCSI device's logical unit number
