Well, thererin lies the rub. "Compile" has a pretty specific meaning to software developers of any flavor, and I suspect that meaning is common across all languages. "Build" means, I suspect, nothing to anyone not familiar with MS development tools, and it certainly has different meanings to us VFP-centric critters than (I'm guessing here) VB and C++ developers.

No matter. At this point I'm just kvetching. MS dictates, therefore we must follow.
