Hello RayeR,

Yeah, the rule for generating Makefile.2 in the main makefile seems to be borked...

Makefile.2: site.def Makefile.gen
        -type site.def > Makefile.2
        -type Makefile.gen >> Makefile.2
        -cat site.def Makefile.gen > Makefile.2

The first two commands are correct for MS-DOS, but unfortunately the third command basically destroys their good work and just leaves a "Bad command or file name" (or some such) in Makefile.2. Maybe for now, just manually do

type site.def > Makefile.2
type Makefile.gen >> Makefile.2

(under DOS) then carry on with the

make dos

?

Thank you!
