Gone, thanks.

Oops.  Bet that coulda bit me bad...

The fact that d: doesn't show up isn't a problem?

OK, that was the problem.  All that was in c:\bin was a copy of sh.exe
anyway, so I nuked it and mounted as you said.

OK.

OK.

OK, things seem to be going well.  The b18 make now seems to export
variables to submakes correctly, etc.

I do seem to have come up against a bit of a problem, though.  I use
bash as my shell in NTEmacs, and it seems to be completely hosed:

sh.exe-2.01$ ls
sh.exe: ls: command not found
sh.exe-2.01$ pwd
sh.exe: pwd: command not found
sh.exe-2.01$ echo $PATH

Thanks again for your help...
