The problem arises when a shell is invoked for the recipe because command.com does not allow multiple commands on the same line separated by `;' so something like ``cd dir;make'' won't work. -- Andy Toy, Mortice Kern Systems Inc., Internet: andy@mks.com 35 King Street North, Waterloo, UUCP: uunet!watmath!mks!andy Ontario, CANADA N2J 2W9 Phone: 519-884-2251 FAX: 519-884-8861
