Sorry to go quiet on you - I got tired of fighting it for a while, and
gave up. Then when you sent this reply to the list, I tried again, but got
even more weird errors, and went off in a huff! ;)

I need to revisit it and see if any of Ron's ideas will fix things.

As for Make, I see Duncan's version as much superior to the one in the AB,
but I'm still finding it really hard to get all the tools to play nicely
together with sfix switching in place.

I'll try to get back to it soon and report back again.

Thanks for your input.

WPB
