 ac> %MAKESTARTUP should point to your startup.mk, or you can just run "dmake
 ac> -r" which tells it not to load any internal rules. 
"dmake -V" and
 ac> "dmake -h" may also help, in the absense of any documentation.

Well, I have the startup.mk file issue resolved to the point where DMake
doesn't complain about not having it...  Or having errors in it....  It
took some editing over the default versions that came in the Max source
distribution.  Unfortunately, when I get down to making an actual target in
Max's main make file, I don't get anything other than brief running of
dmake and end of program with no messages (error or otherwise).  It does
complain if I don't make a proper target....  So, I believe I'm not setting
some environmental parameters Scott used to control the processing.  I am
strongly leaning towards simplyfing the make setup he used.  I can
understand how things evolve over time, but the OS/2 command scripts
weren't his last development environment.....  

Since open watcom claims to plan to port the code to Linux, *if* that
happens, it might easy getting Max to compile there.... 

Hmmmm....

Still playing with where I want the development environment and it's setup....

Take care.....
