Hi Garst, You can put a rule in Makefile that creates a .h file with only one line and use the defines. You will have to compile the program everytime, but as a workaround it may work well. In the makefile, the code will be something like this: echo -n '#define NOW_YEAR ' > now.h date '+%Y' >> now.h echo -n '#define NOW_MONTH ' >> now.h date '+%m' >> now.h ... Then in the C program you can include "now.h" and use the defines. Good Luck, Pedro
