There are *lots* of versions of make for PCs.

I used to use NDmake. It works well.

I first used a home brewed make. That was OK.

Previous versions of MS-make were awful, and did not conform to the
conventions of AT&T version 7 make.

D. Kneller (author of NDmake) now sells a product called opus make
It is supposed to be nice. MKS make and Ploytron make are nice too.

There is a PD make that the MKS make was orignally based on called
DMAKE. It runs on msdos, unix, and others. It can generate automatic
response files for anything. It can communicate with other shells
(other than command.com). There is a version in preparation that can
swap itself to XMS, EMS, or Disk then execute the command line.  It is
very compatible with Unix make. The source was posted to
comp.sources.misc not long ago, the binary was posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc also not long ago. It will also interact properly
with my version of RCS (Revision Control System) (also posted to
comp.binaries.ibm.pc) and is covered by the GPL (Gnu Public License).

The war about this issue is the same as other religious wars so
lets go to some other issue.
