+The w32client pair of scripts configure a Windows system to make use
+of an existing read-only TeX Live installation, typically on a
+network drive.
+
+Copy these scripts to the root of the TeX live installation,
+i.e. the same directory as texmf, texmf-dist etc.
+
+This pair of scripts is intended as a prototype. Normally, it should
+work as-is, at least after copying to the right place, but you
+should review the following items:
+
+- check which shortcuts you want to include (add_desktop_shortcut
+ and add_menu_shortcut)
+
+- Decide which file associations, if any, you want to create
+ (register_extension and register_filetype). Although we wrote the
+ functions for it, we decided in the end not to use them in the
+ regular installation.
+
+- You can comment out or remove the xetex stanza if you aren't going
+- to use xetex.
+
+- If the directory layout is non-standard, you may have to edit the
+ texmf.cnf in the root of the installation. Use relative
+ directories, using $SELFAUTOPARENT, whenever possible. See
+ texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf for examples.
