Thankyou for the suggestion.  However, I am aware of these and use them!  I
would have forsaken the IDE some years back if I had not stumbled on these
excellent tools.

However, my reasons for going with a hand coded make file are only partly
concerned with safety.   I am looking to go beyond the Borland C compiler for
the 32 bit windows code, and possibly develop a DOS 32bit version, (for which
Open Watcom is a more logical option).

Beyond that hand coded make files give me a feeling of greater control over
what I am doing, and fit in to my general build environment, which is basically
one great big batch file that takes about 10 minutes to run on my P4!
