Subject: unable to find cl.exe
I'm having a problem building DBI - I am getting the error stating it is
unable to find cl.exe
I am using Windows NT - ActiveState (version 5.00502) Any help is
appreciated.

The following is the output requested in the Readme file for the DBI bundle.
I performed a realclean prior to doing all of these

It went through the mkdir, cp, and Skip commands
