Yes. It works fine. If I try *another* make (the one that came with  
Delphi), *there* it works fine, but it doesn't work with the one that  
comes with djgpp. The same makefile, the same DOS command line, but one  
make wouldn't launch bpc without failure where the other one does.

I've made a makefile as simple as possible. Without commands bpc should  
print its' usage information and then quit (successfull).

I've tried DCC32.EXE (the command line version of the delphi 2 compiler)  
which works fine with djgpp's make. But programs compiled as command  
line applications also conflict with djgpp's make. But I need to compile  
some pascal utilities somewhere. At the moment, I'm converting to p2c  
and gcc as these are needed for linux anyway.

To me it seems that there is something with the DPMI that causes these  
problems.

Obviously GNU-make has a lot more features over all over make's. I'd  
like to have one that does not restrict me on what programs it can run,  
any ideas on this?

        Mls, Kay
