I think NMAKE 1.5 is only a bug fix release with no additional features so NMAKE 1.4 should also handle inline files. The actual version on NMAKE is about 8.00.xxx. The method of using inline files is much more reliable than using "echo", by reasons mentioned already at other places of that thread. With best regards Mathias
