+Visual Studio 2010.  It may also work under later versions of Visual

 Initial preparations
-====================
-You must enter some information in zlib.props before attempting to build
-with this 'solution'.  Please read and edit zlib.props first.  You will
-probably not be familiar with the contents of zlib.props - do not worry,
-it is mostly harmless.

 This is all you need to do to build the 'release' and 'release library'
 configurations.
 
 Debugging
-=========
+---------
 The release configurations default to /Ox optimization.  Full debugging
-information is produced (in the .pdb), but if you encounter a problem the
-optimization may make it difficult to debug.  Simply rebuild with a lower
-optimization level (e.g. /Od.)

 Linking your application
-========================
-Normally you should link against the 'release' configuration.  This builds a
-DLL for libpng with the default runtime options used by Visual Studio 2010.
-In particular the runtime library is the "MultiThreaded DLL" version.
-If you use Visual Studio defaults to build your application you will have no
-problems.

+Studio.  In particular the runtime library is the "MultiThreaded DLL"
+version.  If you use Visual Studio defaults to build your application,
+you should have no problems.
 
-If you don't use the Visual Studio defaults your application must still be
-built with the default runtime option (/MD).  If, for some reason, it is not
-then your application will crash inside libpng16.dll as soon as libpng
-tries to read from a file handle you pass in.

-If you do not want to use the DLL, for example for a very small application,
-the 'release library' configuration may be more appropriate.  This is built
-with a non-standard runtime library - the "MultiThreaded" version.  When you
-build your application it must be compiled with this option (/MT), otherwise
-it will not build (if you are lucky) or crash (if you are not.) See the
-WARNING file that is distributed along with this readme.txt.
+If you do not want to use the DLL, and prefer static linking instead,
+you may choose the 'release library' configuration.  This is built with

+build your application, it must be compiled with this option (/MT),

 Stop reading here
-=================
+-----------------
 You have enough information to build a working application.
 
 Debug versions have limited support
-===================================
-This solution includes limited support for debug versions of libpng.  You
-do not need these unless your own solution itself uses debug builds (it is
-far more effective to debug on the release builds, there is no point building
-a special debug build unless you have heap corruption problems that you can't
-track down.)

-=======
-Libpng 1.6.x does not use the default run-time library when building static
-library builds of libpng; instead of the shared DLL runtime it uses a static
-runtime.  If you need to change this make sure to change the setting on all the
-relevant projects:
