Problem description:
'perl Makefile.PL' works fine. But here's a transcript of the 'nmake' run:
_______
c:\Users\jack\AppData\Local\Temp\Xbase-1.07>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.
syntax error at -e line 1, near "'755')
"
Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' : return code
'0xff'
Stop.

Then in Makefile I changed "NOECHO = @" to "NOECHO =" in order to see
what's up. When I re-run 'nmake' it works fine, apparently. And so
does 'nmake install', apparently. ppm now says Xbase 1.07 is
installed. (I haven't actually used it yet.)
