+<Sect1>
+<Title>Installing the libraries</Title>
+<Para>
+The only part of the library to really be installed is the 
+<filename>libpq.dll</filename> library. This file should in most cases 
+be placed in the <filename>WINNT\SYSTEM32</filename> directory (or in
+<filename>WINDOWS\SYSTEM</filename> on a Windows 95/98 system). If this
+file is installed using a setup program, it should be installed with
+version checking using the VERSIONINFO resource included in the file,
+to ensure that a newer version of the library is not overwritten.
+</Para>
+<Para>
+If you plan to do development using libpq on this machine, you will have
+to add the <filename>src\include</filename> and 
+<filename>src\interfaces\libpq</filename> directories to the include
+path in your compilers settings.
+</Para>
+</Sect1>
+
+<Sect1>
+<Title>Using the libraries</Title>
+<Para>
+To use the libraries, you must add the <filename>libpqdll.lib</filename>
+file to your project (in Visual C++, just right-click on the project and
+chose to add it).
+</Para>
+<Para>
+Once this is done, it should be possible to use the library just as you
+would on a Unix platform.
