+<h3>Introduction</h3>
+
+<p>GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a free,
+open source Geographical Information System (GIS)
+capable of handling raster, topological vector, image processing,
+and graphic data.</p>
+
+<p>
+GRASS is released under the
+ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt">GNU General Public License</a>
+(GPL).

+
+<a name="Release_Notes"></a>
+<h3>Release Notes</h3>
+
+<p>
+WinGRASS is a project of the GRASS Development Team with the goal of
+creating a native Microsoft Windows version of the GRASS software.
+For the past two and a half decades GRASS has primarily been written
+for and run on high powered UNIX workstations. Refitting the
+software's approximately one million lines of source code to run 
+smoothly on Windows has been no mean feat and has taken a few years
+of development effort.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+WinGRASS is still an experimental project, hence it can't be considered a
+complete and fully working release of GRASS for Windows. Some features
+are missing (see <a href="#Missing_Modules">Missing Modules</a> section
+in this document), some known bugs still need to be fixed
+(see <a href="#Known_Issues">Known Issues</a> section), and other
+features may not work yet. Nevertheless, we are getting closer and are
+quite proud of the progress that has been made. It is our goal that
+the 6.5 release be a usable and useful tool for all GIS users
+regardless of their chosen computer platform.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See also <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status">http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The current release of WinGRASS, based on GRASS 6.5, has been built
+on Windows Vista in the <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a>
+environment. The program builds on the following open source softwares and
+libraries (assistance for building many of these has been provided by the
+ <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/">OSGeo4W</a>
+and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/">GnuWin</a> projects):

+The current package contains a complete build (libraries and executables)
+of all the items listed above, except for PostgreSQL, for which the package
+provides only the main dynamic library due to the large size of its full
+install.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All the above softwares and libraries have been built from sources with
+the exception of:
+<p/>
+
+<ul>
+<li>MSYS: provided by the MinGW Project on SourceForge.NET
+(<a href="http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml">http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml</a>);</li>

+<li>GPSBabel: provided by the GPSBabel Project
+ (<a href="http://www.gpsbabel.org/">http://www.gpsbabel.org</a>).</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The WinGRASS Installer has been made using the OpenSource NSIS
+ (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) software, available at:
+<a href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net">http://nsis.sourceforge.net</a>.

+<h3>Installing GRASS</h3>
+
+<table><tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/Install_GRASS.png"></td>
+<td align="left">To install GRASS, launch
+ '<a href="WinGRASS-6.5.SVN-r45072-1-extended-Setup.exe">WinGRASS-6.5.SVN-r45072-1-extended-Setup.exe</a>'
+ and simply follow the step by step instructions.</td>
+</tr></table>
+
+<p>If installed into a directory that has spaces in either its name or the
+path of directories leading up to it, some functionalities of GRASS might
+be hampered. We would highly appreciate if you tried and reported any problems,
+so that we can fix them. However, if you want to avoid any such issues,
+we recommend that you choose a simple installation path without spaces,
+such as <code>C:\GRASS</code>.

+<h3>Launching GRASS</h3>
+
+<p>
+There are three main options for launching GRASS: the new wxPython GUI,
+the older Tcl/Tk based GUI, and in a DOS console. The following
+descriptions refer to the GRASS Group in the Windows Start Menu:
+</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/GRASS.png"><BR>&nbsp;</td>
+<td align="left">Click on this icon (in the GRASS Start Group or on the
+ Desktop) to launch GRASS with the new wxPython GUI.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/GRASS_MSys.png"><BR>&nbsp;</td>
+<td align="left">Click on the GRASS msys icon (in the GRASS Start Group
+ or on the Desktop) to launch GRASS with the new wxPython GUI and a
+ companion UNIX-like terminal shell.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/GRASS_CMD.png"><BR>&nbsp;</td>
+<td align="left">Click on this icon to launch GRASS in text mode on the
+ Windows command line.</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/GRASS_tcltk.png"><BR>&nbsp;</td>
+<td align="left">Click on the GRASS "Old GUI" icon to launch GRASS with
+ the older Tcl/Tk GUI (GIS.m).</td>
+</tr>
+
+<tr>
+<td width="32" align="left" valign="top"><img src="img/GRASS_MSYS_Console.png"></td>
+<td align="left">Click on this icon to open a MSYS console which will
+ let you work within a UNIX-like shell environment.</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+
+<a name="Sample_Data"></a>
+<h3>Sample Data</h3>
+
+<p>
+As installation option you can also download and install the following
+GRASS sample data sets:
+</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td width="120" align="left" valign="top"><h4 class="nomargin">North Carolina Data Set</h4></td>
+<td align="left" valign="top">
+<p class="nomargin">Used as sample data in the
+ <a href="http://www.grassbook.org">book</a> "Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS
+ Approach", 3rd edition, this data set is a comprehensive collection of
+ raster, vector and imagery data covering parts of North Carolina (NC),
+ USA. It has been prepared from public data sources provided by North
+ Carolina state and local government agencies and the Global Land Cover
+ Facility (GLCF). The primary focus is on Wake County.

+The sample data files will be installed into a directory called 
+"GIS DataBase", which will be created in your Windows user's
+Documents folder.

+
+
+<a name="Getting_Started"></a>
+<h3>Getting Started</h3>
+
+First time users should explore the
+ <a href="http://grass.bologna.enea.it/tutorial/">first steps tutorial</a>
+after installing. Currently this still refers to the old GIS.m Tcl/Tk GUI
+frontend, but most of it should translate to the new GUI.
+<P>
+Some brief instructions for starting the new wxPython GUI are given
+<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToTestGrass6">here</a>,
+but to avoid getting too confused early on you should have a quick
+read through the
+ <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/index.html">GRASS quick introduction</a>
+pages and the
+ <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Help">GRASS wiki site</a>.
+The documents there will help explain a lot of the concepts and jargon you
+will need to know.
+
+
+<a name="Missing_Modules"></a>
+<h3>Missing Modules</h3>
+
+<p>The following modules are missing in the current WinGRASS release:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The <em>r.li</em> landscape structure analysis suite</li>
+<li>Some GUI helper scripts such as <em>g.change.gui.py</em> and <em>v.type.py</em>
+<li>The <em>wxnviz</em> 3D visualization module  for the new wxPython GUI.
+  Use <em>NVIZ</em> available from the old Tcl/Tk GIS.m GUI instead.
+<li>The <em>wxvdigit</em> vector digitization module for the new wxPython GUI.
+  Use the digitizing tools available in the old GIS.m Tcl/Tk GUI instead,
+  or the vector digitizing tools available in
+  <a href="http://www.qgis.org">QGIS</a> (using the GRASS-plugin).
+</ul>

+<h3>How to Submit Bugs</h3>
+
+<p>
+We would highly appreciate if you contributed to the WinGRASS project by
+<a href="http://grass.osgeo.org/bugtracking/">submitting bug reports</a>
+or informing us about them through the
+<a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-windows">Windows GRASS Mailing List</a>.
+Bugs only get fixed if we know about them!
+Please make sure to include information on which installer version you were using, 
+what GUI you were using (wxpython, tcl/tk), and whether or not you used the msys option.
+</p>
+
+
+<a name="Build_GRASS_From_Source"></a>
+<h3>Build GRASS From Source</h3>
+
+<p>
+If you want to work on the latest development version of GRASS you must
+build it from the source code. This process has recently been greatly
+simplified for Windows environments, see
+ <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows">http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows</a>
+for instructions.
