* Peter Fitzsimmons got everyone's attention by mumbling this to Martin Pollard:

 MP> format, and (B) Watcom WMAKE doesn't support the 
 MP> conditional statements (!if,
 MP> !endif, etc.) found in Borland MAKE... and I use those

 PF> It does support conditionals,  just not the same way (Watcom's make is
 PF> a little too different than MSC/Borland).
     [example omitted]

I stand corrected.  It's still not as elegant as Borland MAKE, though... and
it *definitely* doesn't support all of Borland's built-in macros (which are
*very* handy to have in large makefiles!).  As you said, too different; I've
got too many projects tied up in Borland MAKE for me to switch to WMAKE.
