Hiya- Well, I sure do know make and some of it's varients. However for quick and dirty little projects written in C, I usually only have one source file so a Makefile is kind of redundant. And, if it's been a little while since I used it, well comments are cheap. Usually, I just have one dos window for my vi editor, and another with the compiler (I just use the F3 for a repeat). If there were multiple source files, then make makes sense......

Possibly overkill (unless someone already knows makefiles), but a simple batch file with the same name as the C file would do that also nicely.
