This won't work: DEL doesn't understand forward slashes

This is how Make works.  VPATH is only for finding the input files,
output still goes to the current directory.

(Btw, should you need to define a different place for different files, 
like one directory for *.c and another for *.h, use the vpath variable, 
lower-case, to do that.  This is described in the Make manual.)

Yes.  You don't need to spell the directory in UPPER CASE, though.
