I first used a home brewed make. That was OK. Previous versions of MS-make were awful, and did not conform to the conventions of AT&T version 7 make. D. Kneller (author of NDmake) now sells a product called opus make It is supposed to be nice. MKS make and Ploytron make are nice too. There is a PD make that the MKS make was orignally based on called DMAKE. It runs on msdos, unix, and others. It can generate automatic response files for anything. It can communicate with other shells (other than command.com). There is a version in preparation that can swap itself to XMS, EMS, or Disk then execute the command line. It is very compatible with Unix make. The source was posted to comp.sources.misc not long ago, the binary was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc also not long ago. It will also interact properly with my version of RCS (Revision Control System) (also posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc) and is covered by the GPL (Gnu Public License). The war about this issue is the same as other religious wars so lets go to some other issue. -- Frank Kolakowski ====================================================================== |lfk@athena.mit.edu || Lee F.

GNU make 3.58 has been ported to MS-DOS by Thorsten Ohl as part of his GNUish MS-DOS project. It is a typical Thorsten Ohl high quality port and includes, among other things, swapping. It is available by anonymous FTP from ocf.berkeley.edu (128.32.184.254) in the pub/GNU/gnudos subdirectory. Also available is the entire GNUish MS-DOS project (GNU software ported to MS-DOS, including the file utilities, e?grep, and diff). -eric -- eric ng 1906 milvia street berkeley california 94704 ..!ucbvax!irss.njit.edu!erc ...!ucbvax!argon!erc erc@irss.njit.edu erc@argon.berkeley.edu

One annoyance of NDMAKE is that it generates response files for the Microsoft linker and librarian which are different formats from those response files need for Borland's linker and librarian.

If you have internet access I assume you have hosts which speak ftp. You can certainly get stp for the PC, and buy and ethernet card, if that's what you want to do. Ask your ethernet administrator about a host you can use to get things. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
