Since '#' is the comment-sign, the '#' and all following stuff is suppressed by make. I tried everything I know about quoting (on shell-level), nothing worked. Is there any way to put '#' into my macro? (If of interest, I'm using Apollo Domain/OS 10.3) Thanks, Lutz Jaenicke -- Lutz Jaenicke jaenicke@w414zrz.ee.tu-berlin.de Institut fuer Elektrische Maschinen jaenicke@emapollo.ee.tu-berlin.de Technische Universitaet Berlin Tel.
