+"freeglut.dsp", which creates a DLL file, and "freeglut_static.dsp", which
+creates a static library.
 
+The "freeglut" library also comes with an Open Watcom compiler project file
+"freeglut.wpj" and two target files "freeglut.tgt" and "freeglut_static.tgt".
+The two target files build DLL and static libraries.  The Open Watcom also
+includes "freeglut.rc", which is a resource compiler script to add a "Version"
+tab to the DLL property sheet.

+Building the Libraries with MSVC
+================================
 
 To build the "freeglut" libraries, open MSVC and load the "freeglut" workspace.
 This will load the two projects.  Selecting "Build" - "Batch Build" from the
 menu will build both the debug and the release versions of both libraries.
 
-The libraries will be found in the following places and will have the following
-names:
-- DLL, debug version:  freeglut\freeglut\Debug\freeglut.lib
-- DLL, release version:  freeglut\freeglut\Release\freeglut.lib
-- Static, debug version:  freeglut\freeglut\DebugStatic\freeglut_static.lib
-- Static, release version:  freeglut\freeglut\ReleaseStatic\freeglut_static.lib
+The libraries will be found in the following places and will have the
+following names:
+- DLL, debug version: freeglut\freeglut\Debug\freeglut.lib
+- DLL, release version: freeglut\freeglut\Release\freeglut.lib
+- Static, debug version: freeglut\freeglut\DebugStatic\freeglut_static.lib
+- Static, release version: freeglut\freeglut\ReleaseStatic\freeglut_static.lib
 
 Unlike the *nix release, the library names are NOT automatic replacements for
-the GLUT library names.  You may rename them manually if you wish.

+Building and Installing the Libraries with Open Watcom
+======================================================
+
+To build the "freeglut" libraries, open Watcom and load the "freeglut.wpj"
+file.  This will load the two target files.  Clicking on the "Make All
+Targets" button will build both the debug and the release versions of both
+libraries.
+
+The "make" script will copy the library files to the Open Watcom library
+folder and will copy "freeglut.dll" to the correct "System32" folder.  The
+library files are named "freeglut.lib" for the DLL version and
+"freeglut_static.lib"for the static library.
+
+You will need to copy the "freeglut" include files from their installed
+location ("freeglut\freeglut\include\GL") to the Open Watcom include directory
+("%WATCOM%\h\nt\GL").
+
+Unlike the *nix release, the library names are NOT automatic replacements for

 The "freeglut" developers' community discussed the possibility of distributing
 binaries and decided against it.  If you need Windows library files, please
