In my previous message, I indicated that the behavior of accepting macro definitions that have leading tabs was an AT&T(USO?)/BSD difference. THIS IS NOT SO. Apparently, the forgiving behavior I attributed to BSD make is actually only a part of SunOS "SunPro" make. The make man page doesn't really say much on the issue so both interpretations are equally correct. Moral: Don't start make macro definitions with a TAB and don't use unescaped colons in an imake macro definition. David
