     7 As a PNG .dll demo VisualPng is finished. More features would only hinder

     8 the program's objective. However, further extensions (like support for other 

     9 graphics formats) are in development. To get these, or for pre-compiled 

    10 binaries, go to "http://www.schaik.com/png/visualpng.html".

    43    include the executable from the ./lib directory in your distribution.

    44 

    45 2) Build the program with the configuration "Win32 DLL" and you need to put

    46    in your distribution the executable from the ./dll directory and the dll's

    47    libpng1.dll, zlib.dll and msvcrt.dll.  These need to be in the user's PATH.
