Further to this,  I've actually got XP on a machine now,  so tried to
download the platform SDK - no joy.  It turns out that the auto installer
needs a specific DLL and my machine has too recent a version!  Also the
direct links are broken.  However a bit of poking around in the release
notes (which are viewable) resulted in the paths.

So if anyone is interested,  you can grab it (330MB) from the following
prefix:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/

To which append the files:

PSDK-FULL.bat, Extract.exe,  PSDK-FULL.[1-9].cab, PSDK-FULL.1[0-3].cab

The above can be done with any http download app.

Now - to try and install the junk so as to recompile one program...

(I also now need to figure out how much space to give 9p on the laptop)
