Well it is mainly because most of the builds that Jon setup used "build" to indicate the build utilities and build files (ie equivelent to Avalons tools/). I think it was Craig who started using target to indicate the "target" of your build. It mutated to intermediate files because most people also had a dist target ;) -- Cheers, Peter Donald -------------------------------------------------- Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence... -------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
