A great article, [Let's Compile Like its 1992](http://fabiensanglard.net/Compile_Like_Its_1992/), provides some real nostalgia in its detailed description of setting up a build environment to compile classic Wolf3D. I've attempted to make it easy to *"jump start"* the process by providing a pre-configured environment.

Remember to set your PATH environment variable in your DOSBox to `path=c:\borlandc\bin` per Fabien's write-up, else Borland C will bork about not finding the tools to perform the build (eg TASM.EXE).
