AVR-Chat

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have checked some of them already.

I putposely kept the path to WinAVR short.  It resides on my F: 
drive right off the root.  F:\WinAVR.

No spaces the path afaik, but I will double check.

I tried compatibility mode on Make and it did not work.

I loaded winavr on my winxp pro at work and it was fine.

Don suggested to me to check for some other "make" elsewhere on the 
computer which is earlier in the path.  A VERY good sugggestion.  I 
will check for other make programs on the computer as soon as I get 
home.  This is the one thing I had not looked for before.  I am 
laying odds that this is the answer?  I will also move make.exe to 
the same directory as the project ans see if this does anything.

So far make works on both other computers I have tried it on.  Win 
98 and winxppro.
