Last month I wrote a version of the Unix(tm) utility MAKE. It runs under VAX/VMS and MSDOS 2.0. I am placing it in the public domain, and it is yours for the asking. You may copy it, or give it away. You can make any changes you like to it. All I ask is that you DO NOT TRY TO SELL IT. Anyway, there is now a MAKE for MSDOS. It is free, and it works pretty well. I'm giving it away because it might do the world some good. Who knows? Caveat: this version of MAKE is NOT compatible with the Unix(tm) version. Some differences are explained in the documentation. Most of the problem stems from the fact that I've never had a chance to use the original version of MAKE, and the documentation I've seen on it has been poor. My idea of what a make program should do is almost certainly different from what you Unix(tm) hackers are used to. Well, hell -- the software is worth what you paid for it. Have fun. In order to get MAKE running on your system, you need to: 1. Read the documentation file MAKE.MAN. (Yes, read the directions.) 2. Edit the file MAKE.H to represent your system (VAX/VMS or MSDOS 2.0.) 3. Recompile the source code by following the script file CMAKE.COM (for VAX/VMS) or CMAKE.BAT (for MSDOS 2.0.) VAX/VMS requires the DEC C compiler; MSDOS 2.0 requires Lattice C (or another C compiler of comparable quality) and the Macro Assembler. 4. Test out MAKE by running it on itself. (Make a backup first!) Good luck, Landon Dyer (G.DYER @ SU-SCORE)
