That series of commands works fine with my compiler (version 2.3
on MS-DOS version 2.11 on a Z-100), but then again my program
may be among your 10% that work.  You might try setting your
PATH, since both c88 and bind will search the PATH for files
they need. You could try something like
                path=a:;a:\bin;b:;b:\bin
which also worked for me.                - Jim Van Zandt
