--* Subject: [9] -Csmax option [csmax.txt][0.35.0 [=]]

--@ Fixed  by:  SSD   Fri Jun 3 11:50:49 EDT 1994 
--@ Tested by:  none 
--@ Summary:    Not a bug. The advertised behavior is that -C options imply -Fc. 

Using the -Csmax=0 option prevents the .c file from being deleted (GCC).

BTW I think the default for smax should be 0 on Unix machines, not 2000.
x00n.o files are a problem when using makefiles to update libraries.
