- Use the following NS source for windows and decompress it to a folder
	http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/ns-src-2.1b8a-win.tar.gz


**********************************************************************
- Create MySetup8vc7.bat

	Contents of MySetup8vc7.bat:

	path=%path%;e:\MyNS\tcl\bin;E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b8a\ns-2.1b8;E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b8a\nam;E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b8a;E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b8a\GenApps\Bin;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\bin;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE

	vsvars32.bat

	REM Note this is vsvars32.bat not vcvars32.bat
	--------------------------------------------------------------
	(You may find vsvars32.bat in installed VC path)

- Open DOS Window

- Run MySetup8vc7.bat

- In E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b9\tcl8.3.2\win\ run
nmake /f makefile.vc
(One may use "nmake /I /f makefile.vc" for ignoring the errors)

- If there was no errors then run
nmake /f makefile.vc install

**********************************************************************
- In E:\Temp\NSSrc\ns21b9\tk8.3.2\win\makefile.vc edit the following lines

Copy all .lib files from E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\lib
to E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\lib, do not overwrite duplicate libs.

- Run
