+           Windows 95/98/2000/NT</h1>
+
+    <p>
+    We have no such system to try, but we have been told that it is
+    possible to use <acronym>deal.II</acronym> on Microsoft Windows
+    systems as well, using either the CygWin or MingW environments
+    that provide most of the Unix like features for the Windows system
+    as well (such as ``perl'', or ``make''). You simply have to run the
+    ``./configure'' script on the shell and follow the installation
+    instructions in the <a href="../readme.html" target="body">ReadMe</a>
+    file.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    As far as we know, the only point to consider is that you
+    can't use the ``make'' distributed with MingW, but have to
+    use the GNU ``make'' from CygWin. If you should encounter other
+    problems, we would love to hear about it and will try to provide
+    fixes for them.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
