When I tried to rebuild it, the attempt failed. The NEWSBUILD.COM file contains multiple iterations of the following code $ IF force_compile - .or. f$search("INPATHS.OBJ").eqs. "" - .or. f$cvtime(f$file_attributes("[-.NEWS_SRC]INPATHS.C","rdt")).gts.- f$cvtime(f$file_attributes("INPATHS.OBJ","rdt")) for both compilation and linking. The problem occurs when there is NO copy of the object file in NEWS_BUILD. While the f$search would seen to take care of this problem, since it is all part of the same IF statement, it also evaluates the last f$cvtime and bombs out because INPATHS.OBJ does not exist. I've tried to come up with a clean, neat fix for this, but have not succeeded in the 2 minutes available. This may be worked around be creating empty files and doing a forced compile. I also get several compilation warnings in INPATH and NEWSREMCLIENT, but I suspect I can ignore these. R.
