Thanks, the sounds plausible but

test-suite "multiprecision EFX numerical test" :
                [
                  run numerical_test.cpp
                  :  --log_level="message"
                  :
                      ../real/cases/test_case_0000x_overflow_underflow.cpp

...  lots more .cpp files
                      ../../src/utility/util_digit_scale.cpp
                      ../test_case_base.cpp
                ]
  ;

fails with this message

error: at Jamfile.v2:55 
error: Names of input files must be sorted alphabetically
error: due to internal limitations

and this is after I've reordered the files in what appears to me to be alphabetically (but I'm not
quite sure what that means - do the . and / count, or just the letters?)

Or have I got my syntax muddled (again)?

Thanks

Paul
