Paul,

Your are welcome!

To set the PATH in Windows XP...

right click on 'My Computer'...
select 'Properties'...
click the 'Advanced' tab...
click the button 'Environmental Variables'...

Look in System Variables for 'Path' and select it...
click 'Edit'...

Make addition (careful not to loose what is there) and click OK.

Then OK...

Open a NEW console and type 'path' to see that your change took effect.

I create separate directories for each of the zips and add the following
to the environment.

Add to PATH: c:\curl\bin;c:\openssl\bin;

If you use these to build other progs then and the following...

Add to INCLUDE: c:\curl\include;c:\openssl\include;
Add to LIB: c:\curl\lib;c:\openssl\lib;
