I recently compiled this with Turbo-C and NDmake (A very good shareware make).
IMHO, the makefile for this package is about as stringent a test of a make 
program as you can find.  I tried Microsoft Make, Borland Make and a public
domain Make and they all failed miserably.  With NDMake, I had to prepend "-"
to some of the commands (mostly the chmods I think) since they seem to exit
with non-zero status for some reason I never worked out - otherwise it works
