Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback. There have been some improvements made to the
VS.NET support files recently, so please try accessing the latest revision
of blitz from the cvs repository. I think what happened is that the changes
that were made were not reflected in the README-VS.NET file; hence the
confusion. With the newer version of the
Blitz-VS.NET.zip archive, you can simply unpack it *in place* and all of the
project files should locate their associated blitz source code files
properly. Just today, I renamed the README file to README-VS.NET.txt (so
Windows knows the right file type), gave the file dos line endings, and
updated the installation info. Also, I renamed the blitz configuration
header file config-VS.NET2003.h to config.h within the .zip archive file.
This way, it will be named config.h when it is extracted, and you do not
have to rename it manually anymore. I hope these changes will resolve the
problems you experienced.

Regards, Julian C.
