Please, that's absurd. It is the _primary_ _purpose_ of Make to create missing files from existing ones, if not otherwise possible, by implied rules. But it is not the purpose of Emacs to magically generate files when I open them. It does not run makeinfo when I try opening a non-existing info file. And it certainly should not do something like that in a batch job. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
