The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft NMAKE Utility for MS-DOS, versions 1.01, 1.1, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4

SYMPTOMS
========

When using the NMAKE /D and /C switches together, the modification date of each
file will not be displayed when the date is checked. A short description of each
switch is described as follows:

  /D Displays the modification date of each file when the date is checked.

  /C Suppresses the NMAKE copyright message and prevents nonfatal error or
  warning messages from being displayed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with NMAKE versions 1.01, 1.1,
1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.2, 1.21, 1.3, and 1.4 for MS-DOS and versions 1.11, 1.12,
1.13, and 1.21 for OS/2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
