FREE: for MS/PCDOS users - tools to manage program compilation etc
(automatically generating makefiles + more).
--------------------------------------------------------------
We need some demanding users to beta-test a set of
Code Management tools (ie compiling and building software, integrating,
releasing and distributing it) under MSDOS 3.xx.
- The toolset AUTOMATICALLY generates makefiles and runs make
as and when it needs
- builds programs and libraries
- allows flexible control over where libraries and include
files are to be found,
- supports integration, maintenance of an audit trail,
preparing distributions (and subdistributions!) and
ensuring that the appropriate versions of all components are
picked up in a release.
The tools are not restricted to a C environment - or
even software (they have been even used to maintain a
documentation system!).
We have been using UNIX and VMS versions of these tools for all
our development/integration/release activities over a number of
years. When we ported them to DOS they transformed working on the
PC overnight.
Ideally we are looking for anyone who is doing serious
developments on hard-disk PCs in C. You will probably have
complicated makefiles already to control your build phase.
YOU GET a very powerful toolset, and a very fast turnround on any
problems you may come up against.
WE GET valuable feedback on whether the package is easy to use -
whether the manuals are adequate - whether there are specific pc
problems that we (in a primarily UNIX environment) might not have
thought of.
If you are interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.
If you can re-direct this message to anyone who might find the
offer helpful, and is not on the net, please do so.

If you have any problems getting through, flame the net.
I would also be grateful for replies that indicate that this item has got out.
This is a reposting - but I suspect the original never even made the
outside world. Get in touch anyway - I'm doing a lot of porting from
UNIX to the PC, and we can probably share anecdotes/tips/libndir/libtc etc
Is there anyone out there? - knock once for yes, twice for no
