I've seen many requests for a 'make' for IBM PCs and compatibles. I found a package which purports to be exactly that while browsing on Compuserve a couple of days ago. I have not tried it out yet, so I don't know of its quality nor of its capabilities. It includes source code and its own makefile. You can get it if you have three things: 1) access to a PC with a modem and and XMODEM-compatible file transfer program (like YAM or XMODEM or MODEM7) or, alternatively, access to a PC with a modem and a Kermit program; 2) the public domain Huffman-type unsqueeze utility (USQ) (if you don't have this, you can pick it up along with the package when you make the download); 3) a library handling utility like LU or LUE (again, if you don't this, you can download it from the same machine at the same time). To get it, simply dial up our system at 300 or 1200 baud, and after carrier detect, hit a few returns to let Pro-YAM determine your baud rate. Then 'cd /pubdom/prgms/util' and take a look around. The file is a library of squeezed members called NMAKE.LBR, and it's in that directory. The phone number is 212-603-8747, and the system is located in New York City.
