The Phar Lap program that pmake uses is a scary piece of software. Windows
NT tends not to like it (and randomly kills it) and I used to have problems
with it early on when I was using Windows 3.1 (forget what the solution was).
I don't remember any problems with it when I was using Windows 95.
Does anyone know if pmake runs under OS/2? I remember hearing that it ran
okay.

P.S. I recommend using Windows NT for your development environment. It's by
far the most stable environment I've ever used (I've got it on five machines
and it hasn't crashed on any one of them in three months). That's not to say
it can't be crashed (just look at www.ntinternals.com), but the chances are
highly unlikely.
