+I have made my first attempt at distributing lilypond as a self
+extracting executable for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95.  The
+executable will extract the distribution in the directory specified by
+the user and create em(lilypond-@TOPLEVEL_VERSION@\lily.bat).  This
+batch file initializes the LilyPond environment and fires up a Command
+Prompt.  From this Command Prompt you may run:
+
+itemize(
+    it()ly2dvi
+    it()convert-mudela
+    it()mudela-book
+    it()lilypond
+    it()mi2mu
+)
+
+I have also converted the Manual Pages for the above tools to HTML for
+easy browsing.  This release has been tested on Windows NT 4.0sp3 and
+Windows 95 and found to be operational.  If you have any troubles and
+or comments please do not hesitate to drop me a line
+url(Jeffrey B. Reed)(mailto:daboys@austin.rr.com).
