> Yes, I did have a backup. Some weeks back, a customer of mine typed something like
make proj=foo clean To clean up his project. Except that he didn't. He typed make proj= foo clean The Makefile wasn't all that well written, so when it tried to rm -rf ./$proj , it did quite a number on the rest of his code. No, he didn't have a backup. No, he hadn't checked his work into svn, as corporate standards require. I earnt many brownie points for getting his data back :-) Vic. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
