The sources for make say it is VER. 2 by RAL. Going back to our Unix system and comparing sizes, I see that the sizes of the files are smaller on UNIX, when I look at them under MSDOS with SPF/PC in hex format, I find that all lines are padded out with x'20', i.e spaces. Using elle under Minix, the next thing after the last character in a line is a LF or CR/LF, right arrow causes cursor to move to new line. In UNIX for makefile.min I get from "sum" 13959 9 (16 bit), file is 215 lines and 4242 bytes, on minix I get 18288 11 ,216 lines and 5594 bytes with a crc of 18182. Still I wonder if there aren't some non-printable characters imbedded that are confusing make. My stuff is getting to me from UNIX via VM Pass- through to MVS and then to the PC using SIMPC, MVS is the culprit who sticks the spaces in and mistranslates a few characters that I correct. Hence my next move will be to use elle and type in makefile.min, just to have good control of the situation and see how that goes. Thanks and Regards Sid....G3VBV. ***** Amdahl (UK) Tech. Ops.
