Do you mean variables? I don't recall any restrictions on calling functions recursively. Recursive variable references are disallowed because there is no way to stop the recursion: it will just recurse forever until make runs out of memory and dies. You'll have to give an example. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
