I have tried to respond to another post and my mail bounced. I would
like to ask here why it should take 45 minutes to install a compiler?
Why should it take 3000 files or 500 files? I think a distribution
package should include:

1. cc.exe
2. library module
3. stdio.h and a few other header files
4. env.bat to set up the environment
5. some doc files and examples
6. GO32


Let the developer's package include source and make capability. I
don't care to twiddle with the compiler.
