I used an old DOS unarchiver that didn't know LFNs and so always named the file "MAKEFILE", independend of wether the file was archived as "Makefile" or "makefile". The most recent MS-Windows port of my archiver names the file correctly. I'm sorry! But the patch is still useful since it adds some kind of DOS compatibility to Cygwin make. ;-) Frank -- "Wer den Swing in sich hat, kann nicht mehr im Gleichschritt marschieren."
