Actually, Linux uses GNU make, which is available in the FreeBSD ports/packages and installs as gmake. Having said that, the GNU make man page isn't fantastically helpful, as it basically just lists the command line options and tells you to read the info page (which is a lot more informative). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
