README for using rrdtool / rrd_cgi on NT
----------------------------------------------------

1 : how to build
	the binary distribution comes with all *.vcproj files to build 
	rrd with ms visual .NET. 
	This build is based on original source of cgi-lib, freetype,
	libart, libpng and zlib.
	To help for win32 portability, i've included some header files
	take from the isc bind source, e.g unistd.h. in the dir 'include'.
	Some very good advices are found in the files 'NT-BUILD-TIPS.txt'.

2 : how to install
	- first of all, you must have a working Perl 5.8 (http://www.activestate.com)
	- go in the perl-shared directory and type 
		ppm install rrds.ppd
	- the other application (rrdtool.exe, rrdcgi.exe) are usable as is.

3 : rrd_cgi installation with IIS 4 / 5
	- open the internet service manager (located in the computer management / 
			services and applications / internet information services in w2k)
	- select your site, open property dialog
	- in the directory configuration tab, select 'configuration'
	- you must have 			(.cgi -> c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s)
								(.pl -> c:\perl\bin\perl.exe %s %s)
								.rrdcgi -> yourrrdcgipath\rrd_cgi.exe %s %s
	- after that, all document referenced by extension '.rrdcgi' will be 
	  treated by rrd_cgi.exe
