Larry (et al),

You may have it there.   I am using the latest ActiveState
build (well, fairly fresh anyway), i.e. "which perl" reports
c:\perl\bin/perl.exe, which is this AS install.

Here is perl -v, from the Cygwin command prompt:
===========================
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Copyright 1987-2000, Larry Wall

Binary build 618 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp.
http://www.ActiveState.com
Built 21:03:54 Sep 13 2000
===========================

I cannot run everything through tr though?

How would you recommend I proceed?

Thank you again for your thoughts,

Christopher

P.S. I gave it a whirl, but am seeing the same errors:
===========================
$ cat Makefile | tr --delete \r >Makefile.new

$ make -f Makefile.new all
Makefile.new:638: *** missing separator.  Stop.
===========================

What Perl are you using, ActiveState or a Cygwin version?  If you're using
ActiveState, this will add CR/LF.  To test if this is the problem, run your
makefile through "tr -d\r" to strip the carriage returns.  If you're running

the Cygwin version of Perl, send the output of cygcheck -s -r -v and
cygcheck 
perl to the list.
