Q68388: $$(@F) Macro Doesn't Work with NMAKE Version 1.01

The $$(@F) macro illustrated on page 297 of the "Microsoft FORTRAN
CodeView and Utilities User's Guide" for version 5.00 will not
function correctly in NMAKE version 1.01. This has been corrected in
NMAKE version 1.11, which shipped with Microsoft C version 6.00.

The following is the example from page 297:

DIR=c:\include
$(DIR)\global.h $(DIR)\types.h $(DIR)\macros.h: $$(@F)
     !COPY $? $@

With NMAKE version 1.01, this will only work for the first file in the
list. Subsequent files are not processed. NMAKE 1.11 correctly copies
all three files to the c:\include directory.
