Otherwise, 'make.exe' has that strange delay (about 3 seconds) I mentioned a while back. Does this give anyone a clue as to why there is a delay at all? As a refresher, the delay only occurs if it has been at least 10 seconds since the last delay commenced. Steve -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
