2. Installation
---------------


As of version 0.3.0, ezstream no longer comes with an installer. If you have a
previous version of ezstream installed, you might want to simply uninstall it.

The ezstream.exe file will work from any location. To install it, simply copy
it to a location of your choosing. Add this place to your PATH environment
variable, if ezstream.exe is supposed to be executable from anywhere on the
system.



3. Limited functionality
------------------------


A few useful features are missing in the Windows version of ezstream:
 * Runtime control via signals is not possible.
 * Some useful external utilities (encoders, decoders, etc) may not be
   available on Windows.



4. Source code
--------------


Ezstream uses:
 * zlib (http://www.zlib.net/, BSD-like license)
 * libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/, LGPL)
