:That message _isn't_ from Make; it's from Execute(). For a make, I
:don't want to see that message. Worse yet, you can't get the dos error
:code from IoErr for lc (though real dos commands give it to you),
:and Execute always hands back a -1 - no matter how well the command
:works.
:
:Finally, Lattice has the obnoxious habit of throwing away the value
:returned from main.

	So, it seems that neither Aztec or Lattice set the DOS return code,
though they do return it in D0 (ignored by a CLI/Execute).

	As for throwing away main's return value , this is what is supposed
to happen.  That is, so the following:

	main()
	{
	}

	NO return at all (i.e. garbage in D0) is equivalent to returning 0.
If you want to return an exit code, you need to use exit(n).  Unless you
*were* using exit(), in which case the first comment applies.

	Amen to that.
