hello out there -

  i just joined this list and in one day was inundated with messages.
boy, i feel loved... :)

  anyhow, the install was pretty problem-free (minus the fact that i did
it at five in the morning and kept on typing in the wrong lines in my
autoexec) but i have some questions - i've downloaded the user-tools
source, and the first thing i noticed was that it didn't expand into the
directory as specified in the readme.  i thought it'd be nice to have it
in src, but i guess something's been changed since the readme was written?

  also, i'm having trouble compiling the user-tools.  when i tried running
configure from the top level of the source code directory, i get this:

./configure: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest    conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

Well, i went through the .in files and changed CC to gcc, but nothing
seems to work.  do i need to add it to the autoexec file?

  another thing:  i don't have tlink32, which seems to be crucial for
compiling some of these tools.  help?

  thanks.
