I'm just learning jam and am trying to use it as a replacement
for makefiles + makefile-engine in BeOS.

Oh, I see:

rule AddResources 
{ 
        # AddResources <name> : <resourcefiles> ; 

        SEARCH on $(2) += $(SEARCH_SOURCE) ; 
        RESFILES on $(1) += $(2) ; 
}

I just now downloaded the newest jam-2.4-beos.zip (last updated
August 7th, 2002) from bebits: http://www.bebits.com/app/2981
and this zipped file contains all the source, including the Jambase
file.

There's no rule like "AddResources" in either this Jambase file or in
the reference one at http://public.perforce.com/public/jam/src/Jambase
If I get good enough at this to send ELQ an update (she put jam up on
bebits) I'll post here about it. :)

Thanks,
