21 The FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file system problems have been corrected.
22 I have tested various installations that are known to be operational.
23 The following configurations that have been tested.

57 The installer was created with
58 url(CreateInstall)(http://www.gentee.com/). This is a shareware
59 application that has capabilities close to the high dollar installers
60 bf(InstallShield), bf(Install Vise), and bf(WiseInstaller).
61 bf(CreateInstall) does cost $38 to register which is probably going to
62 be frowned upon, but I was unable to find a freeware install builder
63 that was suitable. The self extracting distribution currently:
66 it() Installs the lilypond distribution on any valid file system.
67 it() Optionally creates a em(Lilypond) shortcut group on your start
68 menu with the following shortcuts.
73 it() Allows unistall through the Add/Remove Program interface on the
75 it() The bf(lilyshell) uses the /E and /K switches to extend the
76 environment size and initialize the shell environment.
77 it() It has the look and feel of a real Windows installer
80 The bf(lilyshell) shortcut initializes the environment so you can
81 generate music from a MSDOS prompt with commands like:
91 If you are upgrading from a previous version of lilypond you will most
92 likely need to flush your font cache. I generally just toss
93 file(D:\localtexmf\fonts\tfm\public\ehrhardt) and
94 file(D:\localtexmf\fonts\pk\ljfour\public\ehrhardt) in the Recyle
95 Bin. Your local font directory may be different, please refer to your
96 local installation of code(TeX).
98 I have also converted the Manual Pages for the above tools to HTML for
99 easy browsing. This release has been tested on Windows NT 4.0sp3 and
100 Windows 95 and found to be operational. If you have any troubles and
101 or comments please do not hesitate to drop me a line

116 LilyPond uses the code(TeX) package as its rendering engine. code(TeX)
117 represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is used to
118 generate documentation, article, and book quality output. It is an
119 assume tool to have in your toolbox.
121 LilyPond uses a code(Python) script named code(ly2dvi) to render a
122 professional quality music score. code(Python) is an interpreted,
123 interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
124 compared to code(Tcl), code(Perl), code(Scheme) or code(Java).
126 Gsview is used to display and print the music scores created by
