There are not too many compilers that do the type of things that nrc can
do in one command...  In anycase its possible for both of us to be happy
if the environment variable(s) point to the base of a tree.  Then the
output would be the same relative path as the source.

Then I am obviously confused as to what people are wanting then.
If the problem is with wingeditor, why not talk to the ppl at wingeditor to
allow for seperate output directories???  But that isn't direclty relevent
to netrexx.

Well, the only thing that the nrc script can do that most compiles can't is to run
the final output.  But that is handled in the Rexx script, and not in the
netrexx translator.  What is being asked for a change in the output directories
which effects the translator and Rexx script.

What I proposed was to add two variables that the translator can use when
writing out temp and final files.  Then the Rexx script could be  custom
modifed to allow for whatever type of command line switches that you want.
(ie seperate output directories per file, a base directory, etc )
 
Later,
