Michael,

You are correct. I have uninstalled all Yagarto tools and I still get
the above results when i check make version. I do have cygwin previously
installed on the machine. One question: how do I uninstall cygwin, there
is no option to uninstall it through control panel and start menu? is it
cygwin that is causing the problem? I also have IAR and microsoft VB
express on my machine.

to answer your question; i have tested examples from Yararto tools and
get the same results.  Thanks a bunch. Imran

You need to remove cygwin releated entries from your path.

you should be able to goggle how to do that.
