Sure, but then I get
makefile(466) : fatal error U1035: syntax error : expected ':' or '=' separator
(or similar) with all three of my 'make' utilities ('make', 'dmake' and 'nmake').
Sure, there are combinations of systems and make utilities that I haven't tried,
but those that I have tried give me such reliably similar failures that I thought
there was little point. Don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining about the quality
of PAR in any way, it's just that I'm sure I'm missing something quite obvious
that was supposed to be common knowledge and wasn't documented.
The last thing I have tried is to download the Microsoft 'nmake15' from the URL
specified in the readme, since the one I am uses professes to be Version 6.00.8168.0.
Sadly I have the exact same error from Version 1.5.
If anyone can help here I would be more than grateful.
Rob
