       I've been fooling around with the idea of a MAKEFILE eqvt on a VMS4.7
system, without much luck. Except for recompiling and linking all source files
whenever I make a change to one, I haven't been able to find any RMS routines
etc. which will permit me to get the date of modification field of files, so
I can selectively recompile and link only un-updated files. Not that it
matters, I work mostly in F77 and recompiling and linking 10 or 15 pgxs'
each day gets to be a real proctological nuisance ! 

       I'm pretty sure some VMS guru has come up with an equivalent; I'd 
appreciate any info on how to do this, or a .COM for it. Thanks in advance !
