--------------------X Here is the Distribution Notice X-----------------------
This is the DMAKE version 3.7 distribution. DMAKE is a Make like tool that
has been written by me and has been used by individuals at the University of
Waterloo. This release replaces the previous version 3.6 release which is no
longer supported. Please read the file 'readme/release' which accompanies
this distribution and describes details of this release (This note is found
in readme/cover).

enhancements (See the man page). A short summary of the more important
ones follows:

apollo, OS/2, Atari, and many others)

. sophisticated inference algorithm
. support for traversing the file sytem both during making of targets
and during inference
. %-meta rules for specifying rules to be used for inferring
prerequisites
. highly configurable
. support for libraries
. parallel making of targets on architectures that support it
. attributed targets
. text diversions
. group recipes
. swapping itself to DISK under MSDOS
. supports MKS extended argument passing convention
All code found in this distribution is original and written by me except where
noted in the source and the following:

of dmake)
- malloc.c package in dbug/malloc from the NET, see the directory for
