yes, nmake. This was a solid component in visual studio 6.0 but seems to 
be a bit "left out" in the newer versions. I remember there being an 
option in 6.0 "export to makefile", which was the other way around, but 
i'm not sure if there ever was the possibility to create projects from 
Makefiles. Might be though. I'll ask somebody tomorrow who knows a great 
deal about this stuff - then we'll see.
