ABF has its own "make" that uses its own "makefiles"; their location and structure is documented in the ABF Advanced Course and I think also in the DBA Guide. You can modify them as you would a makefile, in order to generate multiple images here. Your mods are at your own risk, naturally. The risk is that you break ABF for ordinary use. Thus care is suggested; I'd put the files under source control, for instance. -- Jon -- Jonathan Krueger jkrueger@dtic.dla.mil uunet!dgis!jkrueger Isn't it interesting that the first thing you do with your color bitmapped window system on a network is emulate an ASR33?
