I downloaded "makefile" and I can't remember where to plug it in. I searched Google and it took me to a tutorial by Opus. I don't have Opus on my computer. I think it was a plug in for either Total Commander or OpenOffice.org. Can you help me?

I don't understand. Are you trying to compile something?

Make is a utility which reads lines from a makefile to create(compile & link) programs.

It's highly unlikely that you need a makefile if you did not know this already.

There is no way to tell. There are not other file associations; no explanations and no readme.

A tru makefile is smallish (20-30kb) and only contains plain text.

open with any editor program (nopad,wordpad)

there will be lines like

all: build install test uninstall

build: xxx yyy zz

cc $* -o

install:

yyy:

zzz:

if not, then it's not a makefile; if so, just delete it
