Hello, Found some spare time today to give another shot at parrot on windows, and noticed just doing "perl Configure.pl" + "nmake" didn't work. According to the README.win32, ICU should be downloaded, extracted and its path should be included in the PATH variable. In README.win32 there are 2 errors. Both are corrected with this patch. 1: the link to download ICU is old, this link is now fixed. 2: the file "icudata.lib", as mentioned in the README.win32 file, does not exist in the distribution I downloaded, which is: "icu-3.2-Win32-msvc7.1.zip" but this file's name is "icudt.lib", not "icudata.lib" This filename is now fixed. Fixing these 2 items worked for me. (I use MS VS.NET v13.10.3077) Regards, Klaas-Jan
