Hi Everyone,

A while ago I posted about problems with long filenames and the make that comes
with the WorkSet/2 stuff.  Someone suggested that I get the new make from
hobbes (under .../2.0/programming), which I did.

Well, it still dies, and with the same error message too.  I've posted it here
(sorry for the wrapping, but that can't be helped) so y'all can see what I
mean.  How do I go about getting NMAKE to recognize long filenames?  I guess 
it's not critical, but long filenames are great for descriptive purposes, and
I'd like to use them.  After all, my drive is formatted HPFS for a reason...

Thanks in advance for any help (I get the feeling this will be a simple one).
