Re Charles Brewster's Makefile problem

Hello all,
            I've only just joined the mailing list.

I'm a BSD newbie - so this may not be right - but by just looking at the 
below
VERSIONID - the actual line looks to have been split over two lines - the 
$') is part
of the statement that goes to the shell when trying to build a program.
The 'missing parenthesis' looks to have been inadvertently moved onto a new 
line.
> No closing parenthesis in archive specification.

The line should probably be :-
VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-bsd4.4.mc,v 8.10 1999/02/07 07:26:02 gshapiro Exp 
$')
=> all on one line.

Please note, I don't know Sendmail, the line may or may not have a space 
between
Exp and $') - I'll let you check that one.....

If the above is your problem; happy to have helped - if not don't flame me. 
:-)

(The quoted text may have been mangled by an e-mail program like mine.)
(My apologies for still using M$ Outlook Express !!!)

Keith
