Installation
=====================
Copy WinX.dec to your XBlite include folder; WinX.lib to your XBlite lib folder; and WinX.dll to your XBlite programs folder and your windows system folder (usually windows\system32 on NT based systems).
Winx requires my ADT library, download and install it.
Make sure to copy over the winx.xxx template file.
Compiling
=====================
The WinX source code defines some constants which may be missing from your headers. If you get duplicate definition errors just comment the duplicates out.
WinX uses m4 macros, so make sure to enable macro processing before compiling.
