Makes me feel like it was something I should have known. Sure it was. The "make" tool is apparently a "must learn" function. I just opened the man page and was directed to the "Make -A Tutorial" in /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make. The tutorial discusses PMake. Is this a recommended source of learninging material for make? Can you suggest others? Thanks so much for your help. Bob
