I tried what you suggested... still doesn't work.

C will correctly evaluate the first path, but not the second:


C -b -n -r <delta>
 -I {CIncludes}  <delta>
 -I {CIncludes.bum}  <delta>
 CDRef.c

Will find the files in {CIncludes}, but not the ones in {CIncludes.bum}.
BUT


C -b -n -r <delta>
 -I {CIncludes.bum}  <delta>
 -I {CIncludes}  <delta>
 CDRef.c

Will find the files in {CIncludes.bum}, but not the ones in {CIncludes}.

That is why I think the variables are fine, and it is a bug in C... Why else
would it evaluate one and not the other?

the variable is exported from with userstartup(dot)bum... I tried exporting
it and specifically executing the .makeout file... no change, still
didn't find {CIncludes.bum} (either in the source or the makefile stuff).
