ROTFL. You've *GOT* to be kidding, right? Imake is one of those 'evil daemon spawned utilties from the pit of hell that should be killed with a wooden stake through the heart'. I've seen many a good engineer who was given that line reduced to a babbling idiot that ended up giving up software engineering and took up much safer sports like kick-boxing and arena fighting. :) It's *MUCH* easier to build your own distributed 'make' program that does this than to use Imake with anything *signficantly* large. Dinky X programs don't count, and since X doesn't compile on non-Unix platforms it doesn't count. Nate
