Using RMake


 Rescue5 creates two files containing the information required
 to rebuild the application:

    <.EXE name>.RMK     RMake script
    <.EXE name>.LNK     List of object modules

 To rebuild the application type:

    rmake <.EXE name>

 Before running RMake ensure that your environment is set up so
 that DOS can find RMake, CA-Clipper and the linker used to
 rebuild the .EXE, and that the linker can find the libraries
 required.

 The .RMK file has the following contents:

 The CA-Clipper command line used to recompile the source
 modules with a combination of the following switches:

   /l      Only used if all of the source code was originally
           compiled with /l

   /m      Always used

   /b      Only used if all of the source code (including
           GETSYS.PRG and ERRORSYS.PRG) was originally compiled
           with /b

   /n      Always used.  Note that in systems that were
           originally compiled without /n, CA-Clipper will have
           automatically  declared a procedure for each of the
           source files required to build the system.  These are
           emitted by Rescue5 as procedures with no body (no
           code between the procedure declaration and the
           return statement)


 The linker command line follows; the linker used to rebuild the
 application is assumed to be the same as the linker that was
 originally used to build the .EXE.

 Next, Rescue5 embeds a comment containing the version string
 from the CLIPPER.LIB that the application was linked with.
 This is likely to be the same as the version of CA-Clipper that
 was used to compile the source files originally, but note that
 it is possible to compile a system with one version and link it
 with library files from another.

 Finally Rescue5 writes the rules and dependencies required to
 rebuild the application.

 The .LNK file contains a list of the object modules required to
 link the application.  Note that you will need to edit the .LNK
 file if the application requires libraries other than
 CLIPPER.LIB, EXTEND.LIB, TERMINAL.LIB and DBFNTX.LIB (supplied
 with CA-Clipper).
