[comp.sys.transputer] Need Make utility to run with Occam toolset on IBM PC

PVJQC@CUNYVM (09/19/90)

We recently received Occam 2 toolset with T800 boards from Inmos for
the IBM PC AT. In the manual for Occam it is mentioned that we require
a UNIX compatible MAKE Program as a prerequisite. MIcrosoft MAKE is not
compatible. Does any one know where can one get MAKE for IBM PC compatible
with Unix? IS it public domain? Are there any ftp sites for it?
Thanks a lot.

Yes! there even exist several UNIX compabible MAKE utilities for MSDOS.  I
tried several of them and came to the conclusion that ABMAKE offered all
the features I needed *).  ABMAKE is available from SIMTEL20 (and its ftp
mirror size) and is posted to the MSDOS.SYSUTL directory.

Be aware when using it with alian languages like 3L Parallel Pascal.  Due
to a shortage of file handlers in MS-DOS you should replace the PASCAL=T8P
command with:
	PASCAL=afserver -:o 1 -:b tp.b4

Feel free to contact me when you can't get in touch with the SIMTEL20 server,
so I might e-mail you the sources.

Coert.
