   With the version 4.3 of ndmake posted recently I believe there is a bug.
I was trying to make the pccurses library, which included a couple of cd
commands, but it didn't seem to be changing directories. Then I added a
cd with no argument (to print the current directory) after the "cd smodel"
command. Sure enough, it showed that the current directory had not changed.
Here is a mini-transcript of what happened:
(starting in c:\tmp), "make small"
	mkdir smodel  (this works, the directory is created)
	copy ___ smodel (works, files are copied)
	cd smodel
	cd	(I added this to see what happened; printed "c:\tmp", not
		 "c:\tmp\smodel")
Now, what happened? I seriously doubt it's a problem with the pccurses, because
how can you screw up a "cd" command? Or is it some subtle thing that I missed
to get it work right?
