should be only used with caution. BEWARE OF WRONG COUNTER RESULTS!

*****************************************************************************
Please use PAPI 3.7 (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/papi/downloads/papi-3.7.2.tar.gz)

The Windows source tree comes with Microsoft Visual Studio Version 8 projects
to build a graphical shell application, the PAPI library as a DLL, a kernel
driver to provide access to the counters, and a collection of C test programs.

The WinPMC driver must be installed with administrator privileges. See the
winpmc.html file in the papi/win2k/winpmc directory for details on building
and installing this driver.

The general installation instructions are irrelevant for Windows.

Other Platforms
*****************************************************************************
PAPI can be compiled and installed on most platforms that have GNU compilers
regardless of operating system or hardware. This includes, for example,
Macintosh systems running recent versions of OSX. However, PAPI can only
provide access to the CPU hardware counters on platforms that are directly
supported. Unsupported platforms will run, buttony provide basic timing
functions, and potential access to some non-cpu components.
