Yes, the output is

<output>
don't know how to make RunFailTest.run
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
</output>

> If so, just use the target called "test"

Ok, that works but there's still no del command in test.bat. I can't add 
attachments in the online news reader, so I copy-pasted the relevant part at 
the end of this message. I conducted this test and the one without the -o 
switch on my recently reinstalled Laptop, but the results are exactly the same 
as on my computer at home. I also tested with the prebuilt bjam executable 
available on SourceForge as well as a newly built one from the current CVS, 
still no change.

BTW, the whole problem arised because I wanted to test that some code asserts 
under certain circumstances. As a workaround I now have BOOST_ASSERT throw an 
exception and test for that with a normal run rule. Not optimal but ok for 
testing purposes. Therefore, if you don't want to invest more time in this 
that's ok with me.

Thanks very much,
