Hello Paul!

 PE> No, it didn't.  But 12 hours of work later, and it now does.  I

 What's the bug in EMX?  I might run across it and not even notice it,
 thinking its in *my* code. :-)

 RL> trying to figure out make files from the docs that come with EMX and dmake,

 PE> I have also figured that out.

 PE> Stick "SET INIT=e:\path\dmake.ini" in your CONFIG.SYS
 PE> Then create a file called "dmake.ini" in "e:\path".
 PE> Then stick dmake.exe in "e:\path".
 PE> The stick "e:\path" in your path.
 PE> Then go "dmake -f makefile.emx"

 PE> You can substitute any directory for "e:\path", of course.

 I just set one environment variable that points to dmake.ini from my
 config.sys;

 Set makestartup=e:\emx\etc\dmake.ini

 I'm using dmake 3.18.
