How do I install the FSF GNU GCC (C compiler) up and running on a Windows 95
Pentium system.
I have uncompressed the following file gcc-2.95.2.tar.  I have several
directories that have been created with several files in but there doesn't
seem to be many exe's, com's, bat's.  The instructions don't make that much
sense either.

I have tried using Miracle C Compiler but it just crashes alot on finding
minor syntax (typing) errors.  So I am looking to give something else a try.

I would like to get FSF GNU GCC as I spent a while downloading the 12Mb
file, but if any other free (or shareware) compilers are suggested I would
consider these.

Thankz in advance

Steve
