Your first step should be to look for an official/contributed port for 
your compiler suite and chip/devboard combination on the Micrium site. 
If you find it, great! you can get up to speed on the OS by running 
example code and other small snippets.
Just out of curiosity, what board and compiler are you using?

Since Borland C 3.1 is so old you might want to consider going to the 
Micrium web site and getting a more current version of the RTOS, either 
Either uCOS-II 2.92 or uCOS-III 3.x.  Both are available in source form and 
there are plenty of ports for current compilers like gcc, IAR EWARM, Keil, 
etc.  uCOS-I is quite out of date.

 From the Preface, Page xvi:

What you need to Use uC/OS-II

"The code was compiled with Borland International's C++ V3.1"

What compiler ?
Which chip ?

Go over to " http://micrium.com/page/home " and look for the compiler 
and chip you think you are using.

My goal is to gain experience working with an RTOS. After selecting uc/OS I
have have the book and software.  After installing the software and
starting the book, I don't know how to build the kernnel.  Chapter 1 of the
book assume it is runnable in a DOS window, but I don't see how to build
it.  I have an ARM / Cortex evaluation board on order and hope to move to
that.

When can I find a tutorial on how to build the OS.  Yes, I have spent a lot
of time searching but have been unsuccessful. 

Thank you for your time
