Well, I'm not so sure. The make file would print output on success as well as failure. I'm not willing to make that the default behaviour. Inline is suppose to be magic, like Perl. You don't get messages when Perl is compiling. I think I'll continue to write the messages to a file, but dump the file to the terminal if an error occurs. Cheers, Brian
