For whatever reason I find developing on my plain jane MacPlus
to be tedium.  Is there some product that would enable be to
order the little bugger to do this and that through a serial
interface?  It just seems to me that with nice tools like
"screen" and "expect" on a Unix box you could be editing and
printing and so forth while a script was telling the Mac
to compile this, link to that, and beep me when you're done.

Ideally I'd like a complete cross-development system on the
Unix side, but if I could just get the source files over where
I could grep and vi them, and type "make" to transport modified
files for a compile and link without touching a mouse that would
be close enough.  And no, it doesn't have to be free.

Thanks for any suggestions.
