Hi Mikko,

But surely not all in one source file? The compiler only sees one source
file at a time (and hopefully RELEVANT .H files).

Well on 8Mb machine a full recompile of my (approx 1MB source) project
took about the same, but I normally only expect to compile one or two out
of 30 or more source files.

I gave up with it - multi developer projects look very hard to manage
with this stuff. When it goes wrong, it can take DAYS to get your system
back to where it was.

I am sticking to the command line and nmake. (I have
a thing called makeDep which is ok for some projects.)

... I'd like to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
