Debugging with temporary files
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Temporary files can help you debug a command set by placing the actual
commands MAKE executes into the temporary file. Temporary file names
start at MAKE0000.@@@, where the 0000 increments for each temporary
file you keep. You must place delimiters after && and at the end of
what you want sent to the temporary file (! is a good delimiter).

The following example shows && instructing MAKE to create a file of
the input to TLINK.

  prog.exe: A.obj B.obj
     TLINK /c &&!
     c0s.obj $**
     prog.exe
     prog.map
     maths.lib cs.lib
     !

The response file created by && contains these instructions:

     c0s.obj a.obj b.obj
     prog.exe
     prog.map
     maths.lib cs.lib
