TCPmaker : Visual Tour    Generate and View Your Code  

The purpose of TCPmaker Advisor's message is to remind you that any Microchip TCP-IP Stack project is complex, containing many files located in several directories. 

To make things easier, TCPmaker has created a project file for you, for use in Microchip's free MPLAB development environment.  Using this will make sure that the compiler finds all the files in your project, and thaat all your compiler settings are correct.

To use this project file, simply start MPLAB and open this project file. A complete step by step checklist of instructions, on how to load your TCPmaker project into MPLAB and compile it, is in file ReadMe.txt, which you should print right now.  

If you have ever compiled a PIC project in MPLAB before, you will find that most of the steps in this checklist are familiar reminders of things you already know. There are some steps that are specific to setting up your TCPmaker project for the specific type of hardware you will be running.

File ReadMe.txt is also part of your MPLAB project, and can easily be viewed right within MPLAB itself to guide you.
