This file discuss about installation of Alliance on WINDOWS machines.


===================================================================

Alliance is designed to run on a Unix workstation, not in a 
Windows environment, but you can install Cygwin to let your 
Windows Workstation be more posix one.

Alliance works under Windows NT 4, 5, 5.1 (NT4/2000/XP). If you 
use Windows 95 98 or Me, please consider upgrading to Linux.

Before unpacking the alliance package, you have to install cygwin
on your computer (http://www.cygwin.com)

Run cygwin's setup (http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe) and be sure 
to install all develloppment packages (C, X11, lesstif) in doubt
install every thing... its worth the disk space...

Then follow the same instructions as for a Unix workstation.
