- src         A subdirectory used only for VC++ version 1.5 Python
-             source files.  See below.  The other compilers do not
-             use it.  They reference the actual distribution
-             directories instead.

- Microsoft Visual C++ Version 1.5 (16-bit Windows)
- =================================================
- 
- Since VC++1.5 does not handle long file names, it is necessary
- to run the "makesrc.exe" program in this directory to copy
- Python files from the distribution to the directory "src"
- with shortened names.  Included file names are shortened too.
- Do this before you attempt to build Python.
- 
- The "makesrc.exe" program is a native NT program, and you must
- have NT, Windows 95 or Win32s to run it.  Otherwise you will need
- to copy distribution files to src yourself.
- 
- The makefiles are named *.mak and are located in directories
- starting with "vc15_".  NOTE:  When dependencies are scanned
- VC++ will create dependencies for directories which are not
- used because it fails to evaluate "#define" properly.  You
- must manaully edit makefiles (*.mak) to remove references to
- "sys/" and other bad directories.
- 
- vc15_lib    A static Python library.  Create this first because is
-             is required for vc15_w31.
- 
- vc15_w31    A Windows 3.1x Python QuickWin (console-mode)
-             Python including sockets.  Requires vc15_lib.
- 
- 
- Watcom C++ Version 10.6
- =======================
- 
- The project file for the Watcom compiler is ./python.wpj.
- It will build Watcom versions in the directories wat_*.
- 
- wat_dos     A 32-bit extended DOS Python (console-mode) using the
-             dos4gw DOS extender.  Sockets are not included.
- 
- wat_os2     A 32-bit OS/2 Python (console-mode).
-             Sockets are not included.

+ 
+ Note for Windows 3.x and DOS users
+ ==================================
+ 
+ Neither Windows 3.x nor DOS is supported any more.  The last Python
+ version that supported these was Python 1.5.2; the support files were
+ present in Python 2.0 but weren't updated, and it is not our intention
+ to support these platforms for Python 2.x.
