I think this means that there is no ASCII TAB character - make seems to like
these. I have never managed to edit a make file correctly with the DOS
editor - you can change stuff on a line but as soon as you add a line it
falls apart at that point. It seems that the DOS editor does not insert a
TAB into the file if you press TAB on the keyboard - it just moves the
cursor. The solution is to use something like RHIDE or SETEDIT when editing
/ creating a makefile 'cause they can be set / or natively set / to put in
true TAB characters. As I understand it, "seperator" = "TAB character" -
anybody?
