Building the AVS/Express MERL project for WindowsNT
---------------------------------------------------

1) Install the latest VolPro software from Mitsubishi.  By default the setup 
program will install it in "c:\program files\volpro".  For description 
purposes, these notes assume will this location.

2) If you installed the VolPro software in a directory other than the default,
you must edit the link_file property in the Express "V" code to reflect the 
current VolPro directory.  At the top of "v\merlren.v" update the following
statements to the current Volpro install location:

  cxx_hdr_files="c:\\progra~1\\VolumePro\\inc\\vli.h",
  link_files="c:\\progra~1\\VolumePro\\lib\\vli.lib"

3) Set an environmental variable called "XP_ROOT" to the Express install 
directory (e.g. "c:\Express" ) -or- update the "avsenv" file to reflect 
the current Express project and install directories.

4) Compile the project.  From the "MERL" project directory type:
"base -gen_proc express -exit". 

5) Create a new Express executable. From the "MERL" project directory type:
"make -f express.mk".

6) Run/Test. From the "MERL" project directory type: "bin\pc\express".

   For simple how-to programs load:
	a) "apps\read_volume.v", 
     	b) "apps\read_volume_crop.v", 
	c) "apps\read_volume_crop_slice.v", or
     	d) "apps\read_volume_cursor.v"
