-Version 1.0.3 is available
+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
