Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     WARNING:  For NMAKE to work properly, the date and time
               on your system must be consistent.
 
     Microsoft Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) automatically creates a
     makefile and calls NMAKE to run the file. You can use your own
     makefile as a foreign makefile in PWB.
 
     NMAKE can swap itself to expanded memory, extended memory, or disk
     to leave room for the commands it spawns.
