Very Computer

        I'm using GNU make and my makefile basically writes a DOS batch file
that will call the compiler.  The makefile checks out my source files as
required, but then deletes them again when exiting.  How do I suppress this
behaviour?

Thanks!

GET = /usr/sccs/get

%:: SCCS/s.%
        $(GET) SCCS/s.%

And to make them survive, I had to make the pattern target
depend on the special target  .PRECIOUS:-

%: .PRECIOUS

It was all in the manual, I just hadn't read the right bit.
