First run the install program:

install drive:

where drive is the drive you want to install to.  INSTALL will make
a directory tree  \CC386 in this drive and move necessary executables,
libraries, and header files there.  After the installation procedure
is complete you may delete all the files in the directory you unpacked
the programs in.

The directory drive:\CC386\BIN must be on the path; install will
automatically add it to the path if you answer 'Yes' when it asks if you
want your autoexec.bat file modified.  Otherwise you must install it by hand.

INSTALL sets up the system assuming you wish to use the CL386 shell.  If you
do NOT wish to use the CL386 shell to build programs, there are files
'pmb.bat' and 'pmw.bat' and 'pmn.bat' which take you through the 
build sequence for a single source file.

Once you have the program installed, type:

cl386 <file names>

to build a program using NASM and VAL.  You may specify various switches
with CL386 to choose different assemblers/linkers and a variety of other
options.  You may want to modify the CL386 .CFG file in the bin
directory to reflect your changes.

Also see the MK386 utility as an alternate for building programs.

BTW, if you use the -v option on CL386 it will link a debug-like
debugger into  your code.  Not as good as TD, but better than nothing...
