Wouldn't one just use makefiles for that functionality?

Well, I would, and indeed I do, but apparently Randy feels that such
skills are relatively rare in his target audience.

As usual, you're trolling and taking swipes at the HLA user base.

"As usual"??? C'mon!

This particular swipe seems to be at your "apparent" attitude towards your user base, not at the user base. I can't recall Chuck ever saying anything unkind about the HLA user base.

Remember the days when you used to garner a lot of respect because of
your role with CLAX?

I thought he garnered the role with CLAX because of the respect he had.

Quite frankly, you're burning up all that respect
by behaving a whole like like Rene Tournois.

Quite Randally, I was going to warn *you* about "becoming the enemy", but that would just put me in the "club". We may need an extension to Godwin's Rule on this one! :)

I don't think your (apparent) attempt to put Chuck in a "camp" is going to fly.

But I agree with you that "hla *.hla" isn't the place for "only if newer" functionallity. I would expect that to assemble 'em "whether they need it or not". Not sure how much use it will be. My understanding is that it was partly to make HLA behave the same in Windows and Linux. The change may be implicated in not being able to do "hla hw", but needing "hla hw.hla" (reported by David - works fine in Linux). May not have been worth it...

Best,
Frank
