Landon Dyer of Atari wrote a nice little make for VMS & MSDOS, which
I got off the net a few months ago... I have been using it under
VMS 4.4 and it works very well... it is not compatible with Unix make,
but the functionality is there.  An example make file for it:

	all : make ...
	make : make.exe
	make.exe : x.obj y.obj z.obj
		$ link/output=make x,y,z
		$ purge *.obj
	x.obj : x.c
		$ cc x
	y.obj : y.for
		$ for x
	...

Landon's make works by creating a DCL .com file containing the necessary
'method' lines ( $ link... etc. ) which it then executes... while you
need to explicitly state the methods for a dependence list, this also
does not limit you to the types of things you can use Landon's make
to control... it doesn't know what to do with a .rno file, but you tell
it what to do...

If anybody is interested in a copy of this, send me mail.
