Compiling on Win32 systems:

  It's best to do this using mingw32 and standard configure commands. The 
makefiles for Microsoft C and Borland C are pretty outdated and don't 
understand LibDsk. 

For Microsoft C++ (eg: Visual C++ 6.0):

* Run the VCVARS32 command to set up the command-line compiler.
* Build the CPMTOOLS programs with NMAKE /F MAKEFILE.MSC

For Borland C++ 5.x:

* Use Makefile.bcc

  I have not found a working Curses library for Win32, so fsed.cpm has not
been touched. 

  Under Windows 95/98, if a program name has more than one dot, you have to
add the ".exe" extension to the command. So you should use "fsck.cpm.exe" 
rather than just "fsck.cpm".

  If you have appropriate rights, the CPMTOOLS should be able to access
the floppy drive by using "A:" or "B:" as the name of the disc image. 
"mkfs.cpm" and "fsed.cpm" don't have this capability.
