This is probably my root problem.   I've been using Borland 5.5 and VC 6.0 
for awhile with no problems.  But I decided to delete my VC 6.0 installation 
and upgrade to VC 7.1 so I could compile not just RACC but a whole load of 
other extensions not included in the one-click installer but compatible with 
the mswin32 one-click installer.   Even though with RACC as you say, I 
really only need to add the parts of RACC that don't need to be compiled.

I also need iconv, dbm, curses, and a few other things. Some of which I see 
are included in another ruby mswin32 distro but not the one-click one.

I'll see what I can do with .NET Framework SDK installed.

Thank you again.
