I've got the new V2.01 make, and I think it's a Little Bit Different. A) It won't run the gen* executables unless I add '.' to the path. Luckily, I knew enough of Unixisms to think of trying that. B) A mysterious entity called 'sh' produces warnings something like so: gensomething < ./something.def > something.c sh: Filename <.something.def> contains too many periods, changing to <~something.def> (Approximately) Another strange Unixism! Also, when running the gen* programs, it always gives "Warning: EMS unavailable"??? C) When it tries to link cc1, it gives a ".text: line number overflow (0x1???? more than 0xffff)" and stops compiling. Wah! Help! Part C is the only real problem, but I think my preventative copying of whatver_it_was.def to ~whatever_it_was.def only just stopped B from being a problem. And A was a problem for a while.
