_______________________________________________________________

This is a Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 C++ workspace for nb and
a few prototype plugins.

To build nb using this distribution you must first have installed
the following packages from Microsoft.

1) Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 C++
2) Microsoft Platform SDK

The project files in the distribution assume the SDK is installed
at "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK". 

You will find two components included here from the GnuWin32
project to support regular expression matching.  These were 
obtained from the RegEx-Spencer 3.8.g3 package which uses
Harry Spencer's regular expression code.

1) regex.h
2) rxspencer.dll

These components are unmodified.  Source code and updates are
available at the project web site, http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net

Build libnb first because it is used by nb.

Build nb before building any of the plugins because they use
nb.lib.

See http://www.nodebrain.org for documentation on how to use
NodeBrain (nb.exe) and the plugins called NodeBrain Expert
Skill Modules.  See the "NodeBrain API Reference" for
information on writing your own skill modules (plugins).
