In LSC you don't need a Make facility.  The primary function of Make is
automatic.  And it gets updated automatically as you modify your program.
And there is no perceptible time spent processing a Makefile.

You mean I have to somehow write a Make file in MPW?  And wait while it is
rewritten each time I want to compile (or else do it by hand)?  And wait
some more while it is interpreted each time I want to compile?  My god, are
we working in the stone ages here?
