This article was previously published under Q59409 SUMMARY
If you use a filename that contains a dollar sign ($) in a NMAKE
description file, you can use the escape character (^) to tell NMAKE
that the dollar sign is part of your filename, not a macro character.
However, to use the dollar sign in an inline response file or as a
literal character in a command, use two dollar signs ($$) instead.
