You should use DJTAR to unzip the archive, or else you will have filename
problems.  You should be able to use any port of Sed, but the one which
comes with DJGPP is probably the best choice, since the build process was
actually tested with it.  Get the ports of `mv' and `rm' from the latest
GNU Fileutils port you can get.  After that, issue the following two 
commands:

		config msdos
		make install

and you should see it compile without a single warning or error.  If this 
doesn't work for you, post here the exact messages that you get.

Where did you get the port of Make that doesn't do anything on NT?  What 
version of DJGPP do you use?
