Yes, I have the manual and I've read the manual, but I can't
figure out:

With the make & tlink that come with BCC 2.0, how do you set
things up so that you only need to maintain a single list of
object files?

I defined a macro in make like:
OBJECTS=a.obj b.obj ....

and the line

prog.exe: $(OBJECTS)
    tlink \bc\t0s.obj $(OBJECTS), progname, , ...

worked until the command line overflowed.  So, I had to make a
response file for tlink.  And now I have to remember to update
both lists as I add modules.

There must be some feature I am missing?

If I'm *not* missing someone, someone here could probably write
a program in about 20 minutes that reads a list of file names
and spits out two files, an inclusion file for make and a response
file for tlink.  Or tell me some other intelligent way to do
this?
