From: Richard Korry <korry@BBN-UNIX> Date: 13 Jul 1982 16:19:26 EDT (Tuesday) In some versions of make there is a syntax for specifying the entry points of archive members. Thus arc.a((main)) stands for the archive member with main as an entry point. The code was in the V7 make but not documented, it was documented in 4bsd, and not in System 3. I am trying to find out if this is a widely used "feature" and if it is worth the hassle to maintain it. If you have an opinion please respond to me: korry at bbn-unix. thanks rich
