Hi,

I don't think this is the demo script, but rather the shell on the 
Compaq box having problems with the makefile construct

cd /home/chem/sasidhar/gmx314/share/template && ! (test -e Makefile)  ....

The only thing the test does is check if there already is a makefile
there - search for the string in 'Makefile' and just remove the part

"&& ! (test -e Makefile)"

This is on our to-do list, but it's not trivial to find a construct
that works on all shells from all manufacturers :-)
