Make clean doesn't clean as much as it should.

Thanks. Most folk here are Win32 ignorant - so I for one did not know that you could do that 'set'. Makefiles work(ed) without prompting on WinNT's cmd.exe - but of course Win2k/WinXP seem to have changed things. > > >Regards, > >P.MarekThread Previous
