I had the same problem .. I went into ftp.circlemud.org, got the bpl 11
copy, and off the same ftp, I had gotten the OasisWIN95.zip .. unzip the bpl
11, and, I did this before I even compiled...I unzipped the OasisWIN95.zip
into your /src directory, let it overwrite, modify the Makefile for the
correct path etc, then just compile, and whamo.  There are ports of unix
commands out there, such as the Cygnus Developers Kit, located at
ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/latest/cdk.exe
I used that to get patch and some other stuff like grep, gcc, etc etc. :)
Hope that helps!
