It is system.tgz that can be extracted into c:\cm3.
You can dispense with the rest.
 
Older versions of tar, such as the one in this distribution, require the z flag. Newer ones do not.

I haven't tried this in a few weeks, but the following should work.This is all from memory off the cuff and bound to have some errors. Get the latest tarball binary distribution, cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-5.2.6.tar.gz or whatever.It is not particularly current, but it should work, by design and by my latest testing. (Until suchtime as a newer distribution is available, I assume a need to bootstrap from this, but perhapsnot anything older).Checkout the latest cvs code. I'm not familiar with cvs branching, so that should guide you to the right branch. :)   Since Unix "steals" \dev. I use \dev2.  CM3 is at c:\dev2\cm3 for me and paths below will reflect that.   And I "install" it to c:\cm3. e.g. c:\cm3\bin\cm3.exe.    You don't need to use the "install" any longer (with a compromise, that I declare worthwhile, until objections are raised and debated. :) ).   You can do like:   mkdir c:\cm3    cd /d c:\cm3   tar xf cm3-min-WIN32-NT386-5.2.6.tar.gz   copy the nt386 config file from cvs to c:\cm3\bin\cm3.cfg   e.g.  copy C:\dev2\cm3\m3-sys\cminstall\src\config\NT386 c:\cm3\bin\cm3.cfg   setup your C++ compiler environment, such as by running vcvars32.bat or vsvars32.bat or such, it is on your start menu  I have provided my own set of rewritten/wrappers (they are in my hosted subversion so actually I could grant access..):   C:\dev2\j\env\cm3\cm3.vc80.bat  It is the running of vcvars32.bat/vsvars32.bat that largely replaces cminstall.  and then, here is where I get confused, but upgrade and make-dist are both good. upgrade had bitrotted recently I but I think is good now.   cd /d c:\dev2\cm3\scripts\win    upgrade   or make-dist   and if you run make-dist, look near the end of the output, it will produce a new .tar.gz or .tar.bz2, you can rmdir /q/s your \cm3 and extract this on top of it it. OR poke around in my home directory at elelgosoft and there is such a distribution. Can someone please make it available for public download? The smile thing is Hotmail's automatic signature, not my doing, sorry.  - Jay
