Well, this is turning out to be bigger than Ben Hur. After finding
win32.mak, and putting it where it could be found, I am now told that the
dynamic link library mspbd60.dll could not be found in a long list of

And I have to type 'nmake -f makef~4%.nma' which is not a lot of fun.
Sounds like my environment is hosed.
