I was being nice. Most Linux systems don't have bmake or pmake or xmake or foomake installed. But they've got GNU make. So does (as far as I can see) Solaris, and it's available on pretty much every system. I can't be arsed to type 'gmake' all the time when I'm testing, and it irritates the hell out of me writing GNUmakefile's because of its shortcomings, so I just write bmake Makefiles and let my scripts do the ugly stuff. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
