1+These instructions pertain to the Windows binary distribution of Pandoc.
2+If you are installing from source on Windows (using Cygwin), you can ignore
3+these instructions and go directly to README.
4+
5+The Windows binary distribution contains the following files:
6+
7+ - `README-WINDOWS.txt` - this file
8+ - `README.txt` - instructions for using Pandoc
9+ - `COPYING.txt` - the license under which Pandoc is distributed
10+ - `COPYRIGHT.txt` - copyright information
11+ - pandoc.exe - the Pandoc program
12+
13+To use Pandoc, copy `pandoc.exe` to a directory that is in your PATH,
14+or to the directory you wish to work in.
15+
16+Open up a command shell. Change to the directory you wish to work in.
17+Try typing
18+
19+ pandoc -h
20+
21+If you get a usage message, then you're ready to start using Pandoc.
22+See `README.txt` for further instructions.
23+
24+Note: the wrapper scripts `markdown2pdf` and `web2markdown` are not
25+included with the Windows distribution. If you want to use them, install
26+[Cygwin] and ...
27+
28+((better idea: put these in a subdirectory so people can get to them,
29+optionally, if they have cygwin))
30+
31+((also put in a note about links. I suppose they could just copy pandoc
32+to all the others; this would waste disk space, but it would work.))
