Windows NT Source Installation
------------------------------

This might work on WIN98 as well, but I haven't tested it.

Install your GPIB card if you want to access devices directly 
from the NT machine.  Make sure the GPIB card is working and 
the Microsoft C libraries are installed.

Make sure your Perl is at least 5.005.  Get the latest from
http://www.activestate.com.

Make sure you have the following CPAN modules, the installation process
will complain with helpful messages if you don't have these modules.
    MD5
    Storable

Edit Makefile.PL to exclude any modules that don't interest you.  Modules
that don't yet function under NT (GPIB::hpserial, GPIB::llp) are
automatically excluded.

Edit ni/Makefile.PL if you are using a National Instruments GPIB card
and make sure the paths to the include files and libraries are correct.

    tar zxvf gpib-xxx.tgz

    -- Edit Makefile.PL, ni/Makefile.PL 

    perl Makefile.PL
    nmake

    -- Create C:\PGPIB.CONF
