If you have a full blown Visual Studio installation, there's
a file VCVARS32.BAT that sets up the PATH for command-line NMAKE
(or so it was when I last used Visual Studio several years ago...)

Lately I've been using the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 Express version
that you can download from the net; for installation I followed the
instructions given in the Perl source distribution's PERLWIN32.POD
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlwin32.html> to set up a VC++ environment.
With that one I have successfully compiled SIMH.

HTH,
  Martin
