Re: [Openexr-devel] Problem Using ImfTestFile

[Florian Kainz]

The OpenEXR source distribution comes with a Visual Studio project file
for IlmImfExamples (see OpenEXR\vc\vc7\ilmimfexamples).  To get started,
you may want to first compile IlmImfExamples, and then modify the code
as needed.  The examples should compile out of the box, at least with
Visual Studio 7.1 (a.k.a .NET 2003).  For instructions, see file 
OpenEXR\README.win32.
