True, but I was trying to simplify it a bit!
Sorry, it didn't help me for the big picture, although I do understand variables and parameters, but not these specific ones (yet).
I understand the old macro assembler, and direct single or multiple pass compilers that work on a source file and create an object or exe file, but I haven't a clue how this old knowledge can be used to understand all this "make", "patch", and "diff" stuff. It's still a complete mystery to me. I need a kindergarten tour somewhere. :-)
