This is a short addendum to the README file for the precompiled
Win32 build, which applies to this distribution, which is for 
AlphaNT.  This build includes almost all of the important modules
which are included with Sarathy's excellent kit, with the exception
of the Tk and Curses modules, which I was unable to get working in
the short time that I was able to spend on this.

Note that this distribution is compiled with MSVC 4.2 for DecAlpha NT
and NOT Borland C, as Sarathy's is.  I did, however, run all tests
for the modules that are included, and they all passed.

Included in this distribution are:
Alias-2.3
Bit-Vector-4.2
DBD-ODBC-0.16
DBI-0.89
DProf-19970614
Data-Dumper-2.07
DateCalc-3.2
DateManip-5.10
Devel-Peek-0.83
Devel-Symdump-2.00
GD-1.14
MD5-1.7
MIME-Base64-2.03
Storable-0.5
String-Approx-2.1
libnet-1.0505
libwin32-0.08
libwww-perl-5.11
perl5.004_02


You can drop me a line at <wjm@metronet.com> with any questions, but
understand that I'm definitely not an Alpha Guru.  My company (Adobe) has
generously allowed me the use of the compiler and cycles to construct
this distribution, but these machines are not my primary platform.

Note that you'll find the perl.exe and the perl95.exe for Windows95,
which is built by default when you compile using the MSVC compiler.
However, I don't know of anyone who is actually running Windows95 on
an Alpha, so the perl95.exe binary is untested.
