Purpose

The Enhanced Program Maintenance Utility (NMAKE32) automates the process of updating project files and can be used to make backups, configure data files, and run programs when data files are modified.

Description

The Enhanced Program Maintenance Utility (NMAKE32) compares the modification dates for one set of files (the target files) with those of another set of files (the dependent files). If any dependent files have changed more recently than the target files, NMAKE32 executes a series of commands to bring the targets up-to-date.
