  Thanks so much for your help!! I copied the EtText directories to 
where you specified, changed the filename from 'webmake.raw' to 
'webmake' and I have now received MUCH better results when I try to 
run the webmake test suite. Here they are (I hope this doesn't 
wrap!):

Failed 9/53 test scripts, 83.02% okay. 86/563 subtests failed, 84.72% 
okay.

In the perlout test (above), I don't have the IO::String module 
installed. I have rectified that, and installed IO::String from CPAN 
just a few minutes ago.

In addition, I notice that the tests for freetable, implicitmetas, 
implicitmetas2, and metacache all generated a DOS error message, "Bad 
command or filename", meaning that DOS couldn't locate the requested 
command or file on the path.

In 'freetable', I'm sure it was because of the command `which` 
(executed in backticks and passed to a $scalar). I don't have which 
on my computer. In the others, I imagine it might be because of path 
constructions, since Unix paths/look/so, and Windows paths\look\so.

Anyway, I'm making some progress in this situation. Now if only the 
section on "migrating your site to webmake" wasn't so hard to figure 
out!! Thanks much.
