Well at the end all I did was:

1. Make a new Directory
2. Put Curl in it
3. Put Fetch_NS in it
4. Double click on Curl
5. Double click on Fetch_NS

and after quite a few nano seconds, an archive appeared in that
Directory with a name such as 463/zip and containing a new Netsurf, with
installation instructions in the Readme file: Basically just run the
Netsurf within.

This was on a VRPC.
