I personally have never liked the the current method of using shell scripts to build source. It really makes the build process too unix-centric. Granted with added expense and effort you can make a lot of systems look like unix but that seems the wrong approach if your goal is system independence. Perl is available on most systems and can certainly do anything that the C shell can. Chris
