hehe, they don't understand that here.. i dont know if you  have been in
this type of enviornment, and hopefully never will have to deal with it.
For example, they dont use diff because 1) they dont know the tool 2) dont
trust it to mark diffrerences... so what do they do? They print out
several hundred pages of new code and old code, and look at the
differences by eye... i tried to explain diff to them, and show them that
diff -c is reliable, but they still dont listen.

Is there any documentation on the makefile and what it's supposed to do?

-elmo
