Ok, this was what I wanted. Anyway, can't the installer change this itself?

Yes, it isn't here, and you called NT.BAT, not CC65_NT.BAT. This made a
"fine" recursive call.

Ok, good. Just wanted to make sure.

much rights. Everything (except that step) works fine, this is something
that is not normal on NT based machines. It would be nice if it would work
