If you want to use prototypes when they are provided but not require them, then uncheck Require Prototypes in the Preferences dialog box.

This should work if you choose the Make command explicitly and click the Use Disk button to get THINK C to check the date/time of the last modification. IMO, this a pain, but I guess you could set up a macro to do this. +++ Lloyd Lim Internet: lim@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu America Online: LimUnltd Compuserve: 72647,660 US Mail: 215 Lysle Leach Hall, U.C.

I use Gofer for this -- it's great and FAST! Of course, I got it with Disktop 4.0... =============================================================================== | Glenn L.
