My mkfile is written in a way that requires a sequential operation. I need to look at it further. Think a large part of my problem was a misunderstanding of the -s option. Anyway, here is a question. Presuming I can't fix my mkfile to operate in parallel, is there a way to cause sequential operation other than the "NPROC=1" at the command line? It's too easy to forget. Is there a way to specify that mode of operation by something I put into the mkfile? Thanks!
