Here are the steps to creating a new mpich.nt project with MSDEV after you
have installed mpich.nt:
  - Open MS Developer Studio - Visual C++
- Create a new project with whatever name you want in whatever directory you
    want.  The easiest one is a Win32 console application with no files in
    it.
  
- Finish the new project wizard.
- Go to Project->Settings or hit Alt F7 to bring up the project settings
    dialog box.
- Change the settings to use the multithreaded libraries. 
 Change the settings for both Debug and
    Release targets.
   
- Set the include path for all target configurations: This should be Argonne
    National Lab\MPICH.NT.1.2.1\SDK\include
  
- Set the lib path for all target configurations: This should be Argonne
    National Lab\MPICH.NT.1.2.1\SDK\lib
  
- Add the ws2_32.lib library to all configurations (This is the Microsoft
    Winsock2 library.  It's in your default library path).
 Add mpich.lib to the release target and mpichd.lib to the debug
    target.
   
- Close the project settings dialog box.
- Add your source files to the project
  
- Build
