+ - Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files
+ for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These
+ have been tested on Visual Studio 6.
+
+ You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the
+ corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example,
+ MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp
+ builds Plink, and so on.
