I've successfully generated console applications for .NET using Visual Studio 2008 and FTN95 5.21. I'm now trying to use Visual ClearWin, as described in the FTN95 help under '.NET platform > Visual ClearWin > Getting Started', but I've run into several problems.

(1) I've created solution containing a project and a blank form in Design View. "In the Properties of this project, under the General properties, select the Output Type to be a Class Library."

How do I do this? I can't find 'General' or 'Output Type' in (a) the properties of the solution (obtained by right-clicking the solution in Solution Explorer); (b) the properties of the project (obtained similarly); (c) the properties window of the form.

(2) "The input and output boxes on the form must use a Visual ClearWin control called Double_Box. If this type of control is not visible in the Toolbox then you can add it by customizing the Toolbox as follows. Right click on the Toolbox and select Customize Toolbox [actually, 'Choose Items']. In the resulting dialog, select the tab for .NET Framework Components. Click on the Namespace header, scroll down to Salford.VisualClearWin and click on the check box for each of the Salford controls that are listed."

There is no entry Double_Box under 'Name', and nothing for Salford under 'Namespace'. In another Forum posting (VisualClearWin access via .NET Framework), I found: "If you cannot see Double_Box etc then check to make sure that Salford.VisualClearWin is installed in the GAC. From the 'Control Panel' select 'Administrative Tools' then 'Microsoft .NET Framework'". However, there is no entry 'Microsoft .NET Framework' in 'Administrative Tools'.

(3) "In the References for this project, make sure that there is a reference to Salford.VisualClearWin."

It isn't there. How do I get it there? If I right-click on 'References' in Solution Explorer', and choose 'Add Reference', it isn't in the list in the .NET tab of the 'Add Reference' dialog.
