Summary: makefile.vc/rules.vc keep asking for cd insertion

Initial Comment:
Various of the 'nmakehlp' commands executed by the
msvc++ build, e.g.:

nmakehlp -c -QI0f

prompt me with a windows dialog box titled "cl.exe - No
Disk", and a message "There is no disk in the drive.
Please insert a disk into drive D:.", with options
Cancel/Try Again/Continue.

If this only happened once or twice it would be ok, but
it happens about 20 times when I do 'nmake -f makefile.vc'.

PS. delete nmakehlp.exe manualy so it's rebuilt from the 
changed sourcefile (can't really add that as it wouldn't be 
graceful).  nmake is such a limited tool.

Oh, that seems to stop the console window from popping up, 
too.  Also added a SetErrorMode() call to shutoff those 
messages.

Just committed -r1.5 of nmakehlp.c
Does this fix it?

The problem is probably in nmakehlp.c, I use a source file 
name of 'nul'.  Maybe '.\nul' would be more correct?  Can you 
try it.

vc++ 5.2, and yes, I'm in the 'win' directory.

I believe (but haven't 100% verified yet) that the problem
doesn't arise when I first turn my laptop on without using
the cd-rom (D: drive).  However, once the cd-rom has been
used once, then I'm always asked unless of course there is a
disk already in it.

This is wierd.  what version of vc++?  Is your local directory 
at the time you call nmake the win directory of the source?
