=== Description ===

CSC4C is a TCP/IP communication component library that can
be used with most Windows C/C++ compilers (all versions of 
Microsoft C/C++ including VC.NET), Borland, Watcom, LCC-WIN32),
Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) and Borland C++ Builder (BCB). 
CSC4C can be used in the development of Win32 client and server 
applications running under Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. The 
library does not depend on support libraries and makes calls 
to Windows API functions only. The same CSC32.DLL can be called 
from any supported language such as C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, 
VB.Net, PowerBASIC, Visual FoxPro, Visual dBase, Xbase++, and 
COBOL as well as any VBA language such as EXCEL and ACCESS.

=== Installation ===

Run the installation program SETUP.EXE which will
install all CSC4C files, including CSC32.DLL to your Windows 
directory, C:\WINDOWS for Windows 95/98/Me or C:\WINNT for 
Windows NT/2000/XP. Note that no DLL registration is required. 

No Windows system files are modified.
