I found that when I try building something and I'm not currently in that 
directory that it fails to build.

The problem building with rebuild is that all of the libraries (DWT, 
Arclib, etc.) are with DSSS and are included to rebuild when DSSS runs. 
    It sounds to me like you tried to build a DWT app without DSSS, and 
for some reason the build with rebuild didn't fail outright (which I 
think it should have) and then you tried to run it, and it didn't link 
against DWT as it should, and so it was just a few kilobytes of 
assembler short of a full program.  Or it was malformed by a confused 
linker, etc.  DSSS could perhaps be a little more forgiving on Win32 
platforms when you don't play with it *just* right, but given the 
alternatives (building by hand, with makefiles, etc.) I'm more than 
willing to accept it the way it is.  :-)
