Hi, Apart from finding a post which says 'this has been discussed before', I haven't found much information on if/how I can run perform a pre-make stage on my uV2.40 project. I want to run a dos command/batch file to perform a purge of all unrequired file types prior to the building of my project. Is there any way of achieving this? David
"Or just keep it excluded from the build, and just use the 'compile this file' function on it" When I was actually trying this, it didn't work - the 'compile this file' function was greyed-out by excluding a file from the build! :-( I think I moaned about this to Keil at the time - so perhaps it's changed now? "Having the name of that file in the project list still helps to keep things organized." Yes, I totally agree! "we tend to keep an informal TODO list file ... as part of the project, just to have it close at hand." Ages ago, Borland Turbo-C used to have a feature called "Project Notes" to do exactly that sort of thing. It was extremely useful!
