I just learned that 4os2 is free, 4nt is not. Too bad.

I (or anyone) wants something extra from you, but if you look how W32
does it, it is not much extra work. Most of the differences between
4nt, bash and tcsh are hidden behind some macros. If you use the same
macros you are more or less fine, if you write shell dependent syntax
you are not writing portable (or whatever it is called in the build
environment) code.
Example:
$(IFEXIST) $(@:s/.obj/.o/) $(THEN) $(TOUCH) $@ $(FI)
All those macros are defined in the startup files dependent
on the shell that is used.
