No, this is not a joke.  Has anyone ported "make" for CP/M?  It would
have to be really simple, of course.  Ignore the (non-existent) time
stamps and just re-compile (or perhaps keep a simple data-base of
time stamps based on the file-modified bit?) etc.  Ignore the rules
about yacc/lex/whatever, and heaps of other shortcuts...

For the record, my C compiler supports execl()/execv(), as well as
spawnl(), spawnv() and spawnve(), (but not fork()/system() :-).
(Please don't ask for the compiler - it's commercial, and the author
probably reads this group.  I can supply details upon request though.)

Failing an existing product, I may take a stab at doing it myself.
Although constrained by 360k floppies (albeit with 64kb RAM disk) does
tend to severely limit one...

(Hmmm...  has anyone outside of Australia heard of the Microbee
computer, in its various incarnations?  Great little machine!)

Cheers, as they say "down-under".

PS - that dis-assembler was great!
