Regarding your question about doing make-compile-link under Windows. Yes 
you can, I have done it by creating a pif file for make.exe. Here are the
parameters:

KB Required: 256
KB Desired: 640
Directly Modifies: Screen
Program Switch: Text
Screen Exchange: Text

All other parameters are off. This will run make as an old app and it
doesn't close the window when it is done, so you can copy the error
messages onto the clipboard, and paste them into notepad (say).

There is one curious anomaly though. On my system, if I just
have the MSDOS executive running, make will fail with the error
"not enough memory". However, when I start up another windows
application, the make will work.

I also rename my makefiles to have the.mak extension, and modify
win.ini so that it invokes make when I double click on the .mak
file in the MS DOS exec window.
