I don't know about the other problems, but the program is not called "makefile.exe", it's just "make.exe". The files it uses to control its behavior are called "makefiles". You should not need to rebuild it to get it to work. As for the shell thing, you need to download the DJGPP ports of the Unixy shell utilities. These can be found in 'v2gnu/fil313b.zip', 'v2gnu/sed118b.zip', 'v2gnu/shl112b.zip', and 'v2gnu/txt122b.zip'. You probably don't need all of those packages, but you will need at least some of them for most Unix-style makefiles. -- John M.
