- Am I missing the point here, but, there is a utility in the latest version
- of the Occam toolset (also in the latest version of the c toolset and if
- I remember, is also in the D705 product)---ANYWAY: the utility is called
- imakef and builds a makefile (complete with all necessary dependencies). It
- does this by backtracking from the desired .btl/.b8h/etc. to all .occ/.pgm
- files. Although you do *have* to use standard file extensions so that
- imakef can work. The make program is *not* supplied with the toolset, but
- we were able to obtain one from an ftp site. At this most, most of us here
- now rely on this feature - and new user/students come quickly up to speed as
- well
