I thought somthing like make all was nessary because after the copy failed the library wasn't available for the build of the other stuff in the package. I copied the library before trying to build the other stuff then did the packages individually. I got mail from the guy who started this thread and thats how he ended up doing it too. There was a huge thread about the copy command not being able to deal with '/' in makefiles this last week, right? I unzipped to c:\djgpp\allegro and I'm using Dos 6.2 and as far as I know I'm not using any replacement commandline packages. As a contribution to the allegro project maybe I'll stash my allegro stuff and try it again and pay attention. I'll let you know. Charles Terry
