I'm using NT.

However, you're right -- PVCS uses lousy dos extenders.  I don't
believe that people pay for that junk.

I wish my boss would let me use something else -- I've been lobbying
for RCS or even CVS.  No luck.

Sigh.

Well, the problem's over now -- I was required to switch to MKS
Make.  Hey, it's not that bad of a product -- nowhere NEAR the
quality of GNU Make, but a WHOLE lot better than Borland's.  It only
cost an infinite amount more than GNU's make, too.
