I have written a simple make file in Unix which doesn't seem to
be writeable using the Borland DOS make utility. Here is a simple
modified file lister makefile which works under Unix:
FILES = x y z
list: $(FILES)
ls $?
touch list
The problem seems to be that there is no $? macro variable in the
Borland make. Is this right? I know I could do this by having a
seperate rule for each file but I am trying to be a bit more general.
Thanks for the help.

If you want a UNIX compatible make, try NDMAKE. Cheers!
