In other words, you are either a seirious genius (which I don't think so), or this is a very kindergarden implementation of what you understand about MAKE. Other MAKE authors have spend weeks, months, and sometimes years to consider make options like macros and their syntax, runtime footsprint, compatibility with other MAKE languages (yes, many MAKEs have some sort of internal language), just take the time to study the build environment of the FreeDOS kernel alone. This alone will take more then two weeks. >> It may be buggy, missing a few parts, In that case, you are vasting everybodies bandwidth.

It's what in the book or what the utilidoes, not how it implements them. > I'll also share a news item about it on the website. WOW. Yet another impressive utility. Rankeing right between PROMPT and EDLIN. congratutlations.
