INTRODUCTION

Make is a platform independent make processor written entirely in Java.

Using iMake developers can easily create and maintain libraries, executables
and object files from source files.

iMake can be used on any platform that supports the Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) 1.1.x.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELEASE NOTES

For the past 6 months iMake has been used internally to generate static web 
pages using templates. During this time Servertec has shaped and evolved 
iMake to its present form.

It is Servertec's hope that iMake's exposure to a large audience will 
expedite the evolution of iMake to a solution which benefits all its users.

You can help shape the development of iMake, send your comments, suggestions
and problems to webmaster@servertec.com.
