I can't get this to work; I'm not sure that things have been unpacked
into their proper places.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/blitz/blitz/README-VS.NET?rev=1.1&view=auto
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/blitz/blitz/README-VS.NET?rev=1.1&view=auto>
says:

"Within the "blitz" subdirectory, copy the file config-VS.NET2003.h to
config.h."

I did that.

"Then unpack the archive Blitz-VS.NET.zip within the parent directory
containing your blitz source files."

Sorry, but this isn't clear and a more experienced colleague agreed with
me, so I don't think I'm just being dense; lots of directories now
contain blitz "source" files, so precisely into which directory do you
mean: the directory which contains the directory named blitz (which on
my computer is C:\Blitz++-0.7), the directory named blitz itself,
another directory "sibling" to blitz named src, or one of the now
numerous other files containing .c and .cpp files?

"This will produce sibling directories to blitz labeled Blitz-Library
and Blitz-Testsuite"

It produced those directories, but not sibling to blitz, at least not by
default, but that may just have been the way I was (mis)using my
unpacking program; I forced them to be unpacked sibling to blitz, but
that didn't solve my problems.

"Once these files are unpacked, you should be able to open the project
files using VS .NET 2003 and build the library and tests."

I was able to open blitz.vcproj - building it told me that it was
up-to-date. (Just before sending this off, however, I went back and
tried again to confirm, and now it too is telling me it can't find
globals.cpp - see below.) However, attempting to build
Blitz-Testsuite.sln (which is automatically opened if I instead try to
open any of the individual vcproj files in any of the subdirectories)
produces a patience-exhausting list of compilation errors, beginning with:

"------ Build started: Project: blitz, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

etc., etc.

PLEASE HELP!!!
