That sounds as if the ENV variable, NITROS9DIR has not been set and 
exported, but I've no clue how to do that on windows.
On linux, from a shell, echo $NITROS9DIR should echo the path to the root 
of the nitros9 tree, wherever its located on your machine.
That might be best done with a shell script that uses the windows version 
of `pwd` (note the backticks) like this.

export NITROS9DIR=`pwd`

executed in a build script that lives in the nitros9 directory which causes 
the return of `pwd` to be assigned to that environment variable for that 
user only.

Mine looks like this so far:
------------
#!/bin/bash
export NITROS9DIR=`pwd`
make clean dskclean
make $@
make dsk
make dw
------------
But there are both makefiles and defsfiles to fix, the level3 stuff never 
has had the defsfiles changed to reflect the new names in the ./defs 
directory.

Cheers, Gene
