(I ALWAYS struggle with build.bat, missing files, environment variables, and the like...)

Take care,

Rob

Now before anyone asks, it's very doubtful you will see Cogit on the iOS series of operating systems (iphone/ipad). I have had detailed discussions with the Apple Security team since their goal is to prevent user level code from doing dynamic code generation.�
