It does (at least with my newsreader). It seems to be a common problem with some NNTP-based newsreaders that they don't convert double dots correctly (since a single dot denotes EOF for a NNTP-article, all lines starting with a dot have that one duplicated). : I've never before seen a double period used to start such lines. : If not that, then make sure that the next line begins with a TAB character. : > $(CC) -c $< Yes, that was it, apparently. bye, Alexander -- Alexander Lehmann, | "On the Internet, alex AT hal DOT rhein-main DOT de (plain, MIME, NeXT) | nobody knows lehmann AT mathematik DOT th-darmstadt DOT de (plain) | you're a dog." !!CHANGED!!
