+1a. Notes on Wine (Windows build only)
+
+The Windows build requires version 3.5 of the IBM Visual Age for C++
+compiler, and Wine to run it.
+
+Wine must be configured such that I:\\IBMCPPW\\BIN\\ICC.EXE is the
+main compiler executable. (To arrange this, create a suitable symbolic
+link named "i:" in ~/.wine/dosdevices.) Note that while it would not
+be difficult to make this more flexible, migrating away from this
+compiler is a better use of time.
+
+The source tree must also be accessible to Wine somehow; it doesn't
+matter what the specific drive or path mapping is.
+
+At one time, long before Wine 1.0, it was necessary to use patchlevel
+354 (neither newer nor older) of ILINK.EXE, which you can get from IBM
+support. This version is 188928 bytes long and has md5sum
+f48f0aace7c6f247bae015b43f16969a. Wine has improved a good deal since
+then, however, and this may no longer be necessary.
+
+Because of problems with Wine on NetBSD, you can only compile the
+Windows build on NetBSD with some combinations of versions of NetBSD
+and of Wine. Linux works, however.

 2. Configuring
 
 AnaGram comes with a "configure" script that sets up the build
