First of all, many thanks to all those who responded to my post. 

Soren is right - I only want dmake to build perl (so I can use the
scripts that come with ImageMagick). I installed the ActiveState perl not
realising that it cannot be un-installed. It really messed up my OS and
I had to install Win98 all over again.

Please don't flame me for asking 'dumb' questions. I am an artist, not a
programmer and all these types of make are very confusing.

When using CSPAN-dmake-4.1pl1-win32, under msys, what I should set
OSENVIRONMENT to? MINGW, __MINGW__ or MSYS?

There are two folders in dmake/startup/win32; a borland folder and a
microsoft folder. I presume I use the file macros.mk in the microsoft
folder. Is this correct? Thank you all for your patience.
