To install this SDK, extract all files from this archive to a directory on your disk. 

*** Dos/Win Specific Installation notes ***
We recommend c:\V2_OS-SDK\ for easier referencing later in this document.

Add the \tools\ directory to your PATH-environment variable by adding the following line to your Autoexec.bat: set PATH=C:\V2_OS-SDK\Tools;%PATH%

*** Linux Specific Installation notes ***
To make the Linux tools accessible from other directories, type 'export PATH=$PATH:<path of your tools/Linux directory>'

*** Quick Start ***
If you want to make your own 'Hello world !!!' right away, take a look at the in the example directories.
Here you can find examples for:

-GNU GCC                    [/Examples/gcc  ]
