I'm currently using the Unix like shell posted to the news a while ago. When I start NMAKE on background (nmake &) it seems that it only works when I do something on foreground. I have tried to experiment with timeslice, maxwait, priority but nothing seems to help; nmake just waits for yesterday.... (That timeslicing system seems to suck anyway IMHO) All answers greatly appreciated, /Hysky@kontu.utu.fi
