     Syntax:  .IGNORE :
 
     Ignores nonzero exit codes returned by commands or programs called
     from the makefile. By default, NMAKE halts if a command returns a
     nonzero exit code. This directive affects the makefile from the
     place it is specified to the end of the file.
 
     To turn it off again, use the !CMDSWITCHES preprocessing
     directive. To ignore the exit code for a single command, use the
     dash (-) command modifier. To ignore exit codes for an entire
     file, invoke NMAKE with the /I option.
