=====================================================

I need a little help at the OpenWatcom website. At that site you can
download 2 *.exe files, which are the C/C++ developer and the Fortran77
developer. The first one is ~46MB in size and the other is ~34MB. There
are also a bunch of *.zip files for C/C++ and Fortran77, that you can
download as an alternative.

Unfortunately, I have a 56K modem, which is rather slow. First, I tried
to download the 46 MB C/C++ *.exe file. I got to 97% complete after ~4
hours and the connection went dead. So ..., I later downloaded all the
*.zip files and unzipped them into a common directory, preserving all
the subdirectory structure. My problem is that I do not see how to
install C/C++ and Fortran77 as a working system, using the unzipped
files. There does not seem to be an installer and there are no
installation instructions. Anyone had any experience with setting up
C/C++, using the *.zip files????

I would rather not have to download the 2 big *.exe files. One thing
worries me about them. The description on both files includes the
following: "(Windows Installer)". Does that mean I can only install
under "MS you know what"? I don't want to spend all that time
downloading these 2 files, only to find out I cannot install C/C++ and
Fortran77.

Any suggestions with the *.zip files and/or the 2 executable files would
be appreciated. Thanks.
