If this is interpreted by the '&&' operator like under Unix,
then 1 means false and the short-circuiting property of &&
prevents evaluation of the right hand side: in

        false && whatever

whatever is never executed.

# back to make for some reason, if I create another batch file, say called
# antWithRC.bat, and put the following line in it, it blows up with ant fails, 
and
# causes the make to stop.
# 
# antWithRC.bat:
# ant %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 && if errorlevel 1 goto noop
# :noop

What happens if you use || instead?
