Here's a simplified step-by-step instruction (applies 
only for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, possibly ME, but not in NT):

Make sure you're using the replacement CD which comes
with the book.

1. Install Borland C++ Compiler from the CD (this should
be easy).  It will ask you where in your hard disk do you
want it installed.  The default value is c:\Borland\Bcc55.
Let's assume that's where you installed the compiler.

2. Now, go to ftp://ftp.csse.monash.edu.au/subjects/cse1301/
You'll need to get two files from there: bcc32.cfg and 
ilink32.cfg. Click on those files, and save them in 
c:\Borland\Bcc55\bin.

3. Back to your Windows desktop: click on Start -> Run and
type SYSEDIT.  Click the C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT tab, and add the
following line at the end of the file:

  PATH C:\Borland\Bcc55\bin;%PATH%

Click on File -> Save, then Exit.

You'll then need to reboot your PC for the changes to take
effect.

To use the compiler, open an MS-DOS command console as
follows:  Start -> Programs -> MS-DOS Prompt.  Use the
command-line instructions you learned in Prac 1 to
go to the directory where you want to save your programs.
To edit a program, say prog1.c, type the following at
the MS-DOS prompt:

  edit prog1.c

The editor is quite simple, so no need to explain here
how to use it.  Once you're done typing/editing your
program, save it, and exit the editor.  You can then
compile and link your program by typing the following
at the prompt:

  bcc32 prog1.c

If there are errors, edit your program and correct the
errors.  If compile and link are successful, you should
find the following new files in your current directory:

  prog1.obj
  prog1.tds
  prog1.exe

The one which ends with EXE is the executable version.
To run it, just type at the prompt:

  prog1.exe

or simply:

  prog1
