=====================================================
Dylan for Visual Studio (Isolated) Shell (Terminated)
=====================================================

The aim of this project is to build a modern Visual Studio powered IDE for the
`Dylan programming language `_. Microsoft Visual Studio
can be extended to support new programming languages, however, extensions
can't be installed in the Express editions of the Visual Studio line.
Fortunately, Microsoft also provides the free Visual Studio Shell, that can
be extended as needed.

There are two versions of the shell, integrated and isolated. Extensions built
for the integrated shell are automatically merged with any other edition of
Visual Studio you may have installed, however, the integrated shell is
incompatible with the Express editions. The isolated shell on the other hand
can run side-by-side with any other editions of Visual Studio you may have
installed.

While initial development will target the isolated shell there's little reason
why the extensions can't work in the integrated shell, it would simply require
two separate installers.
