The only problem I have with this method is that when a compile error occurs the 'rm' does not remove the intermediate .c. On a subsequent make the esqlc preprocessor is not invoked. This can cause some confusion if you are not aware of the problem. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philip Walden Hewlett Packard Product Generation Information Systems 1501 Page Mill Road, M/S 4U-6 Palo Alto, CA 94304 (415) 857-3899 FAX (415) 857-8234 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
