  I'm not sure if it's a 4dos thing or what.  It's certainly new.  
Anyway, the problem is I'm having trouble compiling from batch files.

------------------- cc.bat ----------------

gcc -g -O2 %2 %3 %4 %5 %1.cc libmost.a -lm -lpc -liostr
 
cp a.out %1
 
strip -s %1
 
coff2exe %1
 
del %1

-------------------------------------------

  The above batch file doesn't work.  After the gcc line, no a.out is 
produced.  Unless, that is, the batch file is in the current directory.  
I don't know why - it was working a few days ago, but for the last few 
days I haven't been able to compile and I just recently figured out why.  
GCC doesn't produce any errors, it just quits peacefully and returns me 
to my command line a.outless.
  Does anybody know why this is?  I can't think of anything I changed 
recently on my system that would cause this...

  BTW: make seems broken, too.  When I run it, no matter what I've
specified "CC=" to be, and no matter what "CFLAGS=" is, it runs plain gcc
with no flags.  So I can't get optimization or debugging info from make.
Funny thing is, it works fine with other programs' makefiles.  Here's mine:

---------------- makefile ---------------

CC= gcc
CFLAGS= -O2 -g
LDLIBS= -lm -lpc
LIBOBJECTS= mouse.o video.o automous.o usefuls.o timer.o window.o \
            widget.o

libpaint.a: $(LIBOBJECTS)
	ar ru libpaint.a $(LIBOBJECTS)

widget.o   : widget.cc widget.h window.o 
window.o   : window.cc window.h automous.o video.o usefuls.o error.o
automous.o : automous.cc automous.h mouse.o error.o
video.o    : video.cc video.h timer.o usefuls.o error.o
usefuls.o  : usefuls.cc usefuls.h
mouse.o    : mouse.cc mouse.h
timer.o    : timer.cc timer.h
error.o    : error.cc error.h

-----------------------------------------

  I admit I've never actually learned how to use make, I just adapted 
this from another one I found.
