[comp.sources.wanted] VAX-VMS and a real make, is there a PD one somewhere?

robin@gradient.gradient.com (Dr R.P. Alston) (05/28/91)

We are about to undertake a port to VAX-VMS and were wondering if
there was a public domain make source that has been ported to VMS that
will ease our path (so we can re-use existing makefiles). This off
course becomes an irrelevant question if a real-live-make is available
as part of the VAX-C development environment, so if thats true
somebody please tell me the error of my ways, having never touched VMS
much in ernest I can honestly say that 'I know notheeeen' (appologies
to Basil Fawlty/Manuel). Please e-mail and I will summarize if there is
enough interest. Thankyou one and all for your help.

There is! Check out the MMS program. It's quite compatible with UNIX
make. I don't like the other tools in the VAXset: LSE, SCA, PCA,
DTM. They may be of use for projects requiring many programmers, however.
