    I am writing a K-shell/C-shell script to build (make, compile, link)
c files in OS/2, Lanman environment. Microsoft cl, link, lib are used. I want 
to use Unix-compatible tools (make, shell, rcs). It has been working fine when 
I only build a small number of files. But when I put all files (over a few 
hundred) in a multi-level tree and attempt to do a "make all" on the top of 
tree, the make, shell, and rcs beagn to abort because "running out of memory".
IT seems to be a common problems to several vendors products.

    Does anyone have similar experience?
    Which vendors provide reliable make/shell/rcs that do not have such 
    memory problems?    
    I will post the summarized information on the notes if I receive enough 
    feedback.

Thanks
