  92
  93 ===================== DO THESE in week 1 ===============================
  94 3. Development Software:
  95    www.eecs.wsu.edu/~cs460/samples/BCC/ contains
  96
  97        Dev86binTGZ.bin : 16-bit development package
  98
  99    Download to your Linux / directory. Rename it as a .tgz file.
 100
 101    Run      zcat FILENAME.tgz | tar xvf -     to install
 102
 103    Read man pages of bcc, as86 and ld86 to see how to use them.
 104
 105 4. VMware and Demo. MTX:
 106
 107    www.eecs.wsu.edu/~cs460/samples/BCC/ also contains
 108
 109    VMware-Player.3.1.3-324285.i386           (VMware for Linux)
 110    mtxCD.iso                                 (MTX INstall CD).
 111
 112    1. Download VMware-Player and install it under your Linux by
 113                sh  VMware-Player-3.1.3-324285.i386
