I have just downloded the 2 seperate MFC4.21.tar and ATL2.02.tar files.  I am using Windows XP and want to know how to install the files they contain. My dm folder is in the root of my c drive.  Thanks

Well those files are actually *.tar.gz files. Use Winzip (www.winzip.com) to extract those files. You may need to change de file extension from tar.gz to tgz before winzip recongnizes the file. Extract the file a folder called MFC.

I know how to use winzip and I can extract them.  I just want to know how to install the files...

Basically anywhere should work. I think there is still a README.txt included in
the archive, but I am not sure.
I used to have them in the DM directory under ~/MFC5 and ~/ATL.
Right now I have them in a separate MS directory under ~/MFC/4.21 and
~/ATL/2.02.
Anything should works as long as you provide the proper INCLUDE and LIB path to
the compiler and linker.

Im a complete noob, is there any chance for a step by step answer? Basically I can extract to any folder but where to I set the paths.  Do I have to do anything else?

The INCLUDE path should be set to the 'include' (sub)directories.
The LIB path should be set to the 'lib' (sub)directories.
I think it is:
INCLUDE=~/MFC/include;~/ATL/include;
LIB=~/MFC/lib;
