Ah, well I remember when "make" was first introduced (in PWB?); I thought it was Christmas... Now, even it has to be modified for various platforms. Trivia: what does "make love" say on your system? My Mac boringly says "make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop." and the FreeBSD box isn't much better: "make: don't know how to make love. Stop". I don't know what my Penguin laptop says because it's currently switched off. Sigh... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
