It seems that MAKEFILE does not update the FILEDATES property of the atom that is just the file *name* without the extension (which is what FL is.)' You have no problems if your files are named FOO.;* but if you use files called FOO.BAR;* this bug affects you. I am surprized that it hasn''t been discovered before.' ' Jeff' ' P.S.
