Hi - If you have a generic version of Builtins.mak - 
the rules file for Borland's make.exe - please e-mail it to me.

I'm a newcomer to Turbo C++, and I'm porting a small flock of utilities
I wrote under Unix (actually Venix on DEC Rainbow) to run in a PC
environment.  I'm sure that there are nice ways to do make-like
dependencies under the IDE or with .PRJ files, but I'd like to minimize
changes to the makefiles & programs, and also to my tiny brain :-)

I will learn the IDE in time, but I am a bit put off by manuals that so
thoroughly mix reference and tutorial - you almost have to read them at
the keyboard, doing all of the examples in sequence, to get the whole
picture.  (but, again, I'm a newcomer - I haven't followed the way of 
Turbo for the last 5 years/50,000 miles)

I was pleasantly surprised to find that TC++ (Prof) came with make,
enthusiastic that one could !include rule sets, but then disappointed
that Turbo Make had to be explicitly told:

.c.obj
	tcc $<

and the other general rules.  (Yes, I'm working on my own builtin.mak,
but I don't want to mangle some subtlety that will bite me later.)

Note - before posting here, I scanned 
    comp.lang.c++
    comp.lang.c (good FAQ file)
    comp.os.msdos.misc
    comp.os.msdos.programmer
but to no avail (will post to CIS BOR forum also)
so, thanks in advance -
