   The process of creating an executable program includes the compilation of
   each single program in source format (.prg) to obtain the relative object
   module (.obj). These modules are then linked together with the necessary
   libraries by the linker, making an executable program.

   During the maintenance cycle, it is likely that only some programs are to
   be modified. In order to have a selective recompilation of only those
   programs that have been modified, a utility called MAKE is used. This
   program is found in different programming language software (Make.exe,
   RMake.exe, NMake.exe etc...).

   The make utility reads the file containing the make directives, analyses
   the data and hour stamp of each .PRG files and compares it with the
   corresponding .OBJ stamp, deciding whether or not the source file it to be
   compiled again.

   dBsee generates the make script file with the directives for the selective
   compilation only those programs whose source (.PRG) has been modified
   after the last compilation. Once compiled, the Link program will be
   run (the name of the linker depends on the one used) in order to create
   the program in executable format. The make and link programs used by the
   system are specified in the Project environment when the Various
   button is pressed. Each sub-project can have different programs defined.
