We have just started using the NMAKE package from the AT&T Tollchest.
It seems to have quite a few desireable features which the normal MAKE
program does not have.  However, we have encountered a few major glitches.

The current problem is that the NMAKE does not seem to handle sccs files
(s.*) correctly.  The first time NMAKE is executed, everything works fine.
Subsiquent executions, however generate the message:

  make: (warning) ??????.c source has changed.

I assume this is because nmake is confusing the last mod date of the sccs
file and the last mod date of the GET version of the code.

----

Does any have a list of generated bugs and fixes on the net?  Since this 
version of nmake has been around since 1985, I would assume that there
are many bugs which we have not even seen yet.   Any help would be appreciated.
