Debs,

As I mentioned in my other post to you, you'll have to do a 'diff' 
command in your text editor (Textpad has a 'compare files' option also) 
between your last working nmake.opt, and your new nmake.opt (it is very 
tedious, as I mentioned to you before....and I constantly make mistakes, 
as is the case with this beta3).

For anyone wondering why it's so difficult: unix command to build 
MapServer is one line; Windows config file is ~800 lines, yikes.
