+To build Wget with VC++ 5.0 run configure.bat in the wget directory,
+and then run nmake. If you want to build the help file you will need
+a copy of makinfo to convert wget.texi to rtf. I've made a copy
+available at <URL:http://www.sunsite.auc.dk/wget/makeinfo.zip>. This
+copy of makeinfo is from the miktxt 1.10 archive available from ctan.
