Hmm, I have Eli, I have :)

This is what the makefile looks like in 'vi' under Linux

# GNU makefile^M
all : hello.exe^M
^M
hello.exe : hello.cc^M
        gcc -O2 hello.cc -o hello.exe^M
^M

Here's a hexdump ... as you can see there's a '09' for the
backspace ....

Yet when I run it either in straight dos or under
dosemu 0.63.1.8 I get 

that error at line 5 .... has me beat!

Any other ideas greatly appreciated
