I'm trying to install with the instructions in the README and I'm getting errors after I run

"perl Makefile.PS"

First it asks me my time zone then after a few lines it picks up here: (screen capture)

which aren't in the handler database already.)

- delete any other handlers for the old version of News Clipper.

Checking if your kit is complete...

Looks good

News Clipper could not determine your home directory. I tried to get your

home directory using both getpwuid and your HOME environment variable.

------------------------

So that's where I type nmake - here is the output (screen capture)

------------------------------

D:\perl modules\newsclipper\NewsClipper-1.24-os>nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0

NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified

Stop.

----------------------------------------

So that is where I type nmake NewsClipper and it still doesn't work.

-----------------------------------------

D:\perl modules\newsclipper\NewsClipper-1.24-os>nmake NewsClipper

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0

Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved.

NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file 'NewsClipper' not found

Stop.

-----------------------------------------------------

I apologize if this simple. I am new to Perl and appreciate your

time and effort.
