That did the trick. I needed to specify "Windows 2000" exactly for it to
work. I also had assumed that the "os" property was the relevant property
(based upon the attribute name), not "os.name".

A big thanks for the assistance.

Ron

The 'os' designation appears to require the precise value of the 'os.name'
project property, including proper case.  Run ant with the -debug switch to
determine the particular setting for Windows 2000.

For instance, if:

os.name -> Windows NT

... then the following is true:

<exec executable="dir" os="Windows"> ...     <- bypassed
<exec executable="dir" os="windows nt"> ...  <- bypassed
<exec executable="dir" os="Windows NT"> ...  <- executed

Does it work if you use a capital W in Windows (don't have Windows
here to check). Looking at the code it seems to be case sensitive.
