I am currently using GNU Make 2.9 since I could not get GNU Make 3.05 to work without generating a ``virtual memory exhausted'' error message. I am having trouble with GNU Make 2.9 and would like to go to a more recent version. Could someone arrange to put the latest-and-greatest on prep in /u/emacs ? I am not able to directly FTP it from there, but I have a friend who has agreed to help get it from there. (Or if someone has taken the time to generate a make.diff-3.05-3.xx (where xx is the latest version number). Thanks in advance, Mark D. Baushke Internet: mdb%silvlis.com@sun.com Silvar-Lisco, Inc.
