In article <2624@wyse.wyse.com>, benefiel@wyse.wyse.com (Daniel Benefiel xtmp user id dept234) says: > >I'm getting the error message "Unable to execute command: DEL XPATCH.EXE" >while running MAKE on the following (partial make file). I have no >problem executing the DEL command myself from DOS (the file exists & has >rw attributes). Any ideas on what MAKE's problem is? > The book says 'del' should work. It will invoke 'command.com' to run the delete command, internally creating 'command /c del ......' As far as not accepting 'DEL', perhaps that's the unix roots of 'make' coming through. It doesn't make sense in a DOS world, though. TLINK (as opposed to LINK) with the '/t' option will create a .com file automatically, at least if you use TLINK that comes w/TC 2.0 and TASM 1.0 (p. 223 in the Turbo Assembler reference manual).
