Re: Case problems and file permissions on Make

[Omar Al-Kaisy]

Thanks again. The problem with all this is, if I use a Windows
port (as downloaded from http://phoenix.liu.edu/~mdevi/util/page1.htm)
then I get the "glob: EXEC error" which you mailed me about a few
weeks ago! Any views?

And does anyone have a native Windows port of Make?
