+XGM SOURCE ARCHIVE
+
+This source archive is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 
+but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. You can reuse these source code freely. However,
+we possibly change the structure and interface of the program code without 
+any advance notice.
+
+HOW TO COMPILE
+
+Open the workspace file top.sln with Visual C++ 7.0 or later
+version. We can compile both KbMediaPlayer and Winamp version of
+NSFplug on this workspace.
+
+To make a KbMediaPlayer version of NSFplug, that is, in_nsf.kpi,
+Please choose 'kbnsf' project as an active project.  Then, you can
+build in_nsf.kpi by build menu.
+
+On the other hand, to make a Winamp version of NSFplug, activate 
+'wa2nsf' project and build it. 
+
+Note that after the build process, VC++ copies the plugin files to:
+
+C:\Program Files\KbMediaPlayer\Plugins\OK\in_nsf\in_nsf.kpi
+C:\Program Files\Windamp\Plugins\in_nsf.dll
+
+If you don't need to have these copies, please remove or modify the
+ custom build settings.
+
+ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
+

+I thank Norix and Izumi for the fruitful discussions and the NSFplug
