I think I found the problem. The compile script says at the
end
        :
        if test -f "$cofile"; then
          mv "$cofile" "$ofile"
        elif test -f "${cofile}bj"; then
          mv "${cofile}bj" "$ofile"
        fi

Using Bill's compiler $cofile is set to something like

        \\somehost\somepath\main.obj

which is not understood by test.
