I'm getting the error message "Unable to execute command: DEL XPATCH.EXE"
while running MAKE on the following (partial make file).  I have no
problem executing the DEL command myself from DOS (the file exists & has
rw attributes).  Any ideas on what MAKE's problem is?


XPATCH.COM:     XPATCH.OBJ MEM_IO.OBJ DISP_SEG.OBJ VIDEO_IO.OBJ CURSOR.OBJ \
  DISPATCH.OBJ KBD_IO.OBJ PHANTOM.OBJ EDITOR.OBJ
  LINK /M XPATCH MEM_IO DISP_SEG VIDEO_IO CURSOR DISPATCH KBD_IO PHANTOM EDITOR;
  EXE2BIN XPATCH XPATCH.COM
  DEL XPATCH.EXE

XPATCH.OBJ:     XPATCH.ASM
        tasm XPATCH,XPATCH,XPATCH;

MEM_IO.OBJ:     MEM_IO.ASM
        tasm MEM_IO,MEM_IO,MEM_IO;

(More compilation rules deleted)

Thanks in advance!
