Title:  Beta-20.1:  Win95 and Win98 - Make problem with del shell command 





I installed the full Beta-20.1 and set the paths etc.  I can't get the "del" command to work from a make file in Win32 mode when running under Win 95 or Win 98.  It works under Win NT 4.0.  and I can get the test case below to work in UNIX mode using "rm" instead of "del".

Please find a simple test below.



Best Regards,
Michael Burns



Makefile (test.mak )


######################
DEL=del


.PHONY : CLEAN
CLEAN:
        $(DEL) test.txt
######################


COMMAND LINE
make --win32 CLEAN -f test.mak 


OUTPUT
del test.txt
Bad command or file name
