any idea what this error message means...
    make.exe: *** [C:\date1.o] Error -1
with a five file C++ program the make file worked once
I altered one of the files a little to test the make file
and after the alteration, no go, only the above error
message... very strange!   sorry if this is a overly simple
question but I am a new comer to this type of
programing... oh, the faq and info don't say much about it
