+ZSTD Windows binary package
+====================================
+
+#### The package contents
+
+- `zstd.exe` : Command Line Utility, supporting gzip-like arguments
+- `dll\libzstd.dll` : The DLL of ZSTD library
+- `dll\libzstd.lib` : The import library of ZSTD library for Visual C++
+- `example\` : The example of usage of ZSTD library
+- `include\` : Header files required with ZSTD library
+- `static\libzstd_static.lib` : The static ZSTD library
+
+
+#### Usage of Command Line Interface
+
+Command Line Interface (CLI) supports gzip-like arguments.
+By default CLI takes an input file and compresses it to an output file:
+```
+ Usage: zstd [arg] [input] [output]
+```
+The full list of commands for CLI can be obtained with `-h` or `-H`. The ratio can
+be improved with commands from `-3` to `-16` but higher levels also have slower
+compression. CLI includes in-memory compression benchmark module with compression
+levels starting from `-b` and ending with `-e` with iteration time of `-i` seconds.
+CLI supports aggregation of parameters i.e. `-b1`, `-e18`, and `-i1` can be joined
+into `-b1e18i1`.
+
+
+#### The example of usage of static and dynamic ZSTD libraries with gcc/MinGW
+
+Use `cd example` and `make` to build `fullbench-dll` and `fullbench-lib`.
+`fullbench-dll` uses a dynamic ZSTD library from the `dll` directory.
+`fullbench-lib` uses a static ZSTD library from the `lib` directory.
+
+
+#### Using ZSTD DLL with gcc/MinGW
+
+The header files from `include\` and the dynamic library `dll\libzstd.dll`
+are required to compile a project using gcc/MinGW.
+The dynamic library has to be added to linking options.
+It means that if a project that uses ZSTD consists of a single `test-dll.c`
+file it should be compiled with "libzstd.dll". For example:
+```
+ gcc $(CFLAGS) -Iinclude\ test-dll.c -o test-dll dll\libzstd.dll
+```
+The compiled executable will require ZSTD DLL which is available at `dll\libzstd.dll`.
+
+
+#### The example of usage of static and dynamic ZSTD libraries with Visual C++
+
+Open `example\fullbench-dll.sln` to compile `fullbench-dll` that uses a
+dynamic ZSTD library from the `dll` directory. The solution works with Visual C++
+2010 or newer. When one will open the solution with Visual C++ newer than 2010
+then the solution will upgraded to the current version.
+
+
+#### Using ZSTD DLL with Visual C++
+
+The header files from `include\` and the import library `dll\libzstd.lib`
+are required to compile a project using Visual C++.
+
+1. The path to header files should be added to `Additional Include Directories` that can
+ be found in project properties `C/C++` then `General`.
+2. The import library has to be added to `Additional Dependencies` that can
+ be found in project properties `Linker` then `Input`.
+ If one will provide only the name `libzstd.lib` without a full path to the library
+ the directory has to be added to `Linker\General\Additional Library Directories`.
+
+The compiled executable will require ZSTD DLL which is available at `dll\libzstd.dll`.
