I cannot reproduce this problem.  I've tried the Makefile that you ppsted
(except that I don't have `f-prot', so I replaced it with a call to
`echo', but that hardly matters), and it worked as expected.  "Error -1" 
usually means that Make couldn't find the executable.  So, no offence, 
but: do you indeed have touch.exe in e:/bin?  If so, what kind of drive 
is E:?  Maybe it's one of those problems with networks (again)?
