Well, this is a followup to my posting yesterday. I actually broke down and
called BORLAND's user support (cost a fortune, but hey, what's one more debt?),
and talked to their Turbo Pascal help. First, let me tell you something that
I didn't mention in my previous 2 postings. I am running Turbo on a two-
floppy system, and command.com resides in the A: drive.
When I told the guy at Borland, he told me that there was a problem with
version 1.3 in that you had to make sure that Make could find command.com,
and I had to have command.com on the disk. Well, I did, but I tried some
other hints that he had given me. He told me that there would be a bug fix
done on the version, and he put me on the mailing list for it.
However, I still have the same problem. Make tries to run TPC, and it
say "Fatal error: unable to execute command: tpc drivers.pas".
TPC is on the default drive, as is all the other necessary support files,
including COMMAND.COM.
So,.... HELP!!!!
Anyone with any help is asked to mail me. If you have the same problem
and/or have contacted BORLAND with questions about Make 1.3, please let
me know. I can't afford another $20 phone call to the States just to
listen to elevator music.
P.S. I am upgrading to a 20 meg drive next week, and wonder if the same
problem exists using a hard drive. Anyone with knowledge is
encouraged to write me. Thanks.

Try using DOS's environment to define the location of COMMAND.COM. The instruction SET COMSPEC=A:COMMAND.COM should be placed in your autoexec.bat file. More detailed info on other SET environment syntax can be found in your DOS manual. Mike
