The make equivalent on the VAX is called MMS (Module Management System)
If you plan to use MMS read the manual first... It is different
than UNIX make, but the end result is the same.

Side note: RCS equivalent is call CMS (Code Management System).

Last I checked, these things were available from DEC for A Pretty
Penny.  Wasn't the original poster interested in PD$software?

That said, MMS seems to be effective and even fairly close to
make syntactically; should pose no problem at all to users of make.

Don't know anything about CMS, though (I thought it was a monitor that
ran IBM VM machines...)
