In my experience, loading a makefile into Edit will destroy it. When I
did this, all the tabs were replaced with spaces on loading, so that
as soon as I saved it make wouldn't recognise it. I immediately looked
for an alterntative editor (having decided this 'feature' was
impossible to suppress).

I have a feeling that this behaviour had changed, though, from Dos
6.22 to Windows 95...
