We've bought Nmake and ASD from the AT&T Toolchest and are interested in corresponding with anyone else using them to exchange usage tips and bug fixes, particularly for Nmake. We run both of them under Ultrix 1.2 (4.2BSD) on a Vax, and have also ported to Zeus 3.21 (System III) on a Zilog S8000. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Nmake is a rewrite of the old Make program, with support for source files in multiple directories, dynamic dependency generation, and portable makefiles, among other things. ASD (Automatic Software Distribution) is an aid for maintaining software packages consistently among multiple machines. The AT&T Toolchest is an on-line distribution system for purchasing unsupported AT&T software packages. To find out about it, call 1-800-828-UNIX, 1-919-279-3666, or your nearest AT&T office. Or call the Toolchest itself, 1-201-522-6900, login "guest". (This is intended not as advertising for AT&T, but to forestall followups or mail requesting just this info.) -- Bill Jones, Develcon Electronics, 856 51 St E, Saskatoon S7K 5C7 Canada uucp: ...alberta!sask!zaphod!billj phone: (306) 931-1504
