    Microsoft's FTP is closed or I can't open it now. Would someone who had ever downloaded upload the patches?

    Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 with CL386.EXE and Windows NT 3.1 SDK seems to be the first environment that is able to build Win32 applications. But CL386.EXE isn't included in either Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 or Windows NT 3.1 SDK. Is there someone who knows CL386.EXE and has it? Would someone share a link?

    I downloaded developr.7z from oscollect.old-dos.ru, not finding any about CL386. Maybe MSC7+CL386+NT3.1SDK is for internal use only. Sad.

    I'm wrong. NT3.1SDK is released after VC1.0 for NT, so it in fact requires VC1.0 for NT, not MSC7.

    Quick note in case anyone bumps into the weirdness that I ran into. I had a problem with installing 7.x in windows 3.11 on 86Box; it kept being unable to read from the floppy. I'm assuming that it's a configuration SNAFU on my part. I didn't feel like chasing it down so I simply copied the contents of all the disks (xcopy /s /e a:\*.* .) to a folder on a hard drive and installed it from there (under windows 3.11). It worked just fine.
