- 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,
