Hi Jeff,

Well, it works for the output file, but now ask_gendata complains it
can not open the input file.

I've messed around with sed for a couple of hours, but I don't have a good
fix. With the attached changes, I can get data.c created.
However, data.c won't compile because the paths in the strings have one \
instead of two. If change the sed edits to leave two \s in, then
ask_gendata won't run as it issues a error message saying it can't get the
length of askrm.exe. Catch-22.

If the above were to be resolved, there is still a larger problem after that.
The command line that is passed to link everything has the full path names
too. I'm not even sure how to address that...
