INSTALLATION There are source and binary packages: domc-0.6.9.zip - zip archive of source domc-0.6.9.bin.zip - Win32 domc.dll, domc.lib, domc_s.lib,... The .bin.zip provides domc.dll which can be placed in the PATH of the program using it (probably C:\WINNT\system32). If you want to build the .DLL do: > cd domc-0.6.9 > nmake -f Makefile.msvc To make the static .LIB just do: > nmake -f Makefile.msvc domc.lib For i18n support you must install the encdec library: http://www.ioplex.com/~miallen/encdec/ This will enable you to properly convert UTF-8 input to whatever your locale codepage is. But there are limitations to encdec on Windows described in it's README.win32.
