-Mercurial version 0.7 for Windows
----------------------------------
-
-Welcome to Mercurial for Windows!
-
-Mercurial is a command-line application.  You must run it from the
-Windows command prompt (or if you're hard core, a MinGW shell).
-
-By default, Mercurial installs to C:\Mercurial.  The Mercurial command
-is called hg.exe.  To run this command, the install directory must be
-in your search path.
-
-
-Setting your search path temporarily
-------------------------------------
-
-To set your search path temporarily, type the following into a command
-prompt window:
-
-set PATH=C:\Mercurial;%PATH%
-
-
-Setting your search path permanently
-------------------------------------
-
-To set your search path permanently, perform the following steps.
-These instructions are for Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
-
-1. Open the Control Panel.  Under Windows XP, select the "Classic
-   View".
-
-2. Enter the "System" control panel.
-
-3. Click on "Advanced".
-
-4. Click on "Environment Variables".
-
-5. Under "System variables", you will see "Path".  Double-click it.
-
-6. Edit "Variable value".  Each path element is separated by a
-   semicolon (";") character.  Append a semicolon to the end of the
-   list, followed by the path where you installed Mercurial
-   (e.g. C:\Mercurial).
-
-7. Click on the various "OK" buttons until you're back up to the top
-   level.
-
-8. Log out and log back in, or restart your system.
-
-9. The next time you run the Windows command prompt, you will be able
-   to run hg.exe.
-
-
-Testing Mercurial
------------------
-
-The easiest way to check that Mercurial is installed properly is to
-just type the following at the command prompt:
-
-hg
-
-It should print a help message.  If it does, it should work fine for
-you.
-
-
-Reporting problems
-------------------
-
-Before you report any problems, please consult the Mercurial web site
-at http://www.selenic.com/mercurial and see if your question is
-already in our list of Frequently Answered Questions (the "FAQ").
-

-send mail to the Mercurial mailing list, at <mercurial@selenic.com>.
-Remember, the more useful information you include in your report, the
-easier it will be for us to help you!
