   Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop (C++)

Documentation:
  Due to lack of time the documentation is available only in Czech as
  comments in the header files. We hope the community will help us 
  translate it to English and convert to HTML/PDF format.
  
  For the beginning we have prepared description (in English) how to
  build DemoPlug, DemoView, DemoMenu, and UnFAT plugins (Altap Salamander
  sample plugins). We believe it is a good idea to base your own plugins
  on these sample plugins. Continue reading in the samples.txt file.
