Edgar, my presumption is that the "windows style path" is coming directly from the configtool repository path setup itself, where I use the browse feature to select the path (in other words, I never set this path string myself). Bear in mind that this is not the first time I have used this, it has all worked previously. You have asked: "where did the '??' come from?" This is what -I- have been asking from the first. Go back and re-read my first post. There looks to be a carriage return in the string that should NOT be there. It is this (the heapgen.tcl invocation from a generated makefile) that I don't understand.
