Faced with the task of moving a large (i.e. many source files) project
from PC's to VMS, I am desperately hoping that there is a 'make' on
VMS.  I wrote one for PC's, but since the first time I even looked at
VMS was late last week, I don't think I'm up to the task of writing one
for VMS.  Can anyone give me any useful info?  I looked in the manuals,
but was unsuccessful in my search.

Also, is there a way to refer to the parent directory of the current
directory?  I suspect not, but I'm used to being able to refer to things
like ../../over/there .

Replies by mail would be much appreciated.

John
