I assume by your offer at the bottom that this 14K make you have is NOT
the one sold by Lattice.  My "lighthearted" comments (which I did claim as
such) were not intended to say that Manx 'has a monopoly on make' (your
words) because I did (and still do) use a UNIX system before I used the
Manx system for the Amiga.  Yes, you would have to create a makefile, but
a real 'make's built-in rules do make the job easier than Carolyn's batch
file, you must admit.

Anyway, let's not fight about this, it's not worth it - you make the best
of the system you have.  Carolyn showed an excellent example of how to
customize a Lattice system, I was just make an [albeit inaccurate] crack
about make making the job easier, which you also took out of context because
it was also mentioned re: a VMS / Unix yuk-yuk.

	Ho hum,
