Excellent. Thanks for your help.

Strange. Please try deleting button.obj, button.h, and button.cpp and
then giving the command:
  nmake button.cpp

If that works, delete them again and try:
  nmake button.obj

Perhaps it's a problem with the sequence of rules. I think I remember
that nmake used to have problems with that (ten years ago).

Does this cause problems for nmake (not counting the problem mentioned
above)? Or is it just a cosmetic thing?

Thanks,
