Did you install it?

If you have Wine running, you should be able to mark REBUILD32.BAT as a 
Wine program. Run that and it will build WF32.EXE, which requires no 
extra includes and has WORDS already.

Alternatively, run GKERNEL32.EXE and INCLUDE src/extend32; that gets a 
complete system. You can FSAVE name.exe to get a turnkey.
