I need a pointer to a make utility for MS-DOS, if anyone knows of one
or has one I would like to hear about it. Thanks

This is a relatively full featured Make program for the IBM PC (and compatibles). It does not have automatic dependancies, but I have never found them all that useful anyway. It does come with a nice program for making a Makefile.

We are pretty happy with PolyMake, a straightforward reimplementation of
Unix make. It works quite reliably, and handles recursive makes and makes
of large makefiles with lots of dependencies quite well. Earlier this year,
the authors noticed a horrible bug (it didn't detect failing commands right
and would plunge ahead heedless) and sent out free updates to all of their
customers. Pretty decent. I only called them for support once, but my
question was quickly and competently resolved.
From Polytron Corp., PO Box 787, Hillsboro OR 97123, 503-648-8595. They
have been advertising a lot in the PC press lately.
