The increased emphasis on the use of imake in R4 has led me to wonder whether there is a tacit assumption that all Imakefiles are based on the same Imake.rules file? I bring this up because the Motif release, and perhaps other third-party X software, uses a slightly different Imake.rules file which produces somewhat different results. I'd like to be able to keep a single Imake.rules file on my system. -- David B. Lewis david@ics.com ics!david@buita.bu.edu david%ics.UUCP@buita.bu.edu "A fool and his money are soon elected."

We try to keep the MIT Imake.rules compatible from release to release (from the Imakefile writer's perspective). People who need enhancements should send mail to me. But, the rules file does have to evolve as new types of operations are added. Jim
