+For building Windows, use the buildall.bat script in this directory.
+
+It requires that the CMD.EXE be created using the DevStudio Tools link to create a CMD.EXE windo.
+
+If multiple DevStudio versions are installed on the machine, you can run buildall.bat on separate windows that each were created by the desired DevStudio target.
+
+If you prefer to build all versions (or several) at the same time, you should uncomment the specific version desired in buildall.bat to build them from a single window.
