MakeMaker defines a macro to tack onto the end of a shell command to make it silent. DEV_NULL. On Unix its '> /dev/null 2>&1'. Windows defines it as '> NUL'. MacOS Classic doesn't have a definition and that causes problems. It means more code that really has to be is overriden in MM_MacOS.pm to strip out $(DEV_NULL) calls. Is there something MakeMaker can stick on the end of a command in the MPW shell (I think its the MPW shell that MM_MacOS is typically run with) to supress its output? -- Michael G.
