To those who requested copies of make from me, After hearing from Todd Aven about his version , due in PD very soon, It would probably be better to wait, however, since the requests were not that many, the sources will be sent out this weekend. Ben Pashkoff

Landon Dyer of Atari wrote a nice little make for VMS & MSDOS, which I got off the net a few months ago... I have been using it under VMS 4.4 and it works very well... it is not compatible with Unix make, but the functionality is there. An example make file for it: all : make ... make : make.exe make.exe : x.obj y.obj z.obj $ link/output=make x,y,z $ purge *.obj x.obj : x.c $ cc x y.obj : y.for $ for x ... Landon's make works by creating a DCL .com file containing the necessary 'method' lines ( $ link... etc. ) which it then executes... while you need to explicitly state the methods for a dependence list, this also does not limit you to the types of things you can use Landon's make to control... it doesn't know what to do with a .rno file, but you tell it what to do... If anybody is interested in a copy of this, send me mail. -- Brad Banko ...!decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!btb Cleveland, Ohio "The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man." -- Carl Jung, 1875-1961
