Thanks.
So I unpack it, fire up bash and run make (ignoring a few errors it
seems to have overcome from earlier), and it does the following:

G:\prog\gs7\gs7.05>bash
bash$ make
./obj/echogs -w ./obj/devs.tr - -include ./obj/unix_
make.exe: *** [obj/devs.tr] Error 1
bash$

echogs compiles and apparently is a working .exe, but returns an error
condition here.  Can you tell why?  Anyway I pulled out my old version 
of echogs.exe from gs5.10 and got the same result.  I guess it's 
supposed to flake out with those parameters.  `obj/devs.tr' and 
`obj/unix_.dev' both exist.

Could you point out which files you were using when you first tried this?
