+# BlitzNext - An attempt at modernizing the BlitzBasic language.
+
+BlitzNext is an attempt at modernizing the BlitzBasic language a bit, so that it works on current generation PCs again.
+
+
+--------
+
+
+Blitz3D open source release!
+
+Workspace and project files are in MSVC 6.0 format.
+
+Ide and Debugger require MFC which is included with MSVC 6.0, but not with later free/express versions of MSVC.
+
+You can grab the prebuilt free version of blitz3d from www.blitzbasic.com.
+
+Steps to build:
+
+1) Install freeimage241 into same dir as blitz3d: http://monkeycoder.co.nz/downloads/freeimage241.zip
+
+2) Install fmodapi375win into same dir as blitz3d: http://www.fmod.org/files/public/fmodapi375win.zip
+
+3) Open blitz3d workspace in MSVC 6.0.
+
+4) Build project 'bblaunch' using config 'Win32 Blitz3D Release'.
+
+5) Output files should end up in _release subdir.
+
+6) Also copy fmodapi375win/api/fmod.dll to _release/bin.
+
+7) Done?
+
+Blitz3d is released under the zlib/libpng license.
