I thought the real point was addressed when I pointed out that Ant *already* supports J# or most any other language or file processing tool. It is called the Apply task which supports both one-file-at-a-time and all-files-at-once commands. The Mapper subelement supports incremental builds (sans dependency checking, although you can do your own a la Make). http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/CoreTasks/apply.html I use Ant for practically *all* of my scripting needs for both Unix and Windows. That includes not just build but also for install. The next cool thing I see for Ant is an interactive shell. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------- James P.
