> As it is, is not possible to build forrest in Windows 98, because command.com
> shell doesn't permit an equal "=" sign in batch variables.
> I've done a patch to build forrest in Windows 98 using TakeCommand as shell.
> Take Command is not free but it's the only one I've found to do that. There
> is a free shell, 4DOS, from the same firma (jpsoft) but it has a limitation
> of 511 charactars for command, which make it useless for this.
> I've suggest also a couple of changes:
> Stop dupplicating commands, both for Windows_NT and WINNT values of
> %OS%.
> Stop calling forrestpath.bat and appendcp.bat from within a FOR loop (there
> is already a loop in both batch files so I think the first loop isn't
> necessary).
