*** INSTALLATION on Win95 environment
    Compilation using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler

VDT-2.8 was ported from Unix to Win95 PC environment,
compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 compiler.
To run executable programs and to use libraries,
you should follow the procedure below.

1. Set the environment variable VDT and include the path
   where all executable programs are installed.
   For a simple way, you can append the following code
   to "autoexec.bat" file.

   set VDT=c:\vdt-2.8 (where this toolkit is placed)
   set PATH="%PATH%;%VDT%\bin;"

2. Confirm the existence of "vdt.rc" file in the directory
   "$VDT\etc". This file contains the directory mapping
   information for the elementary design libraries, such as STD,
   IEEE, SYNOPSYS, etc.

   Confirm the existence of "standard.if" and "textio.if" in
   the "$VDT\etc\std" directory, which are generated from
   "standard.vhd" and "textio.vhd", respectively through
   VHDL analyzer (van). 

Now, you can run all programs contained in "bin" directory.
However, note that these are non-graphical programs,
which should be initiated by typing command on DOS shell.
