Well, dmake is very very portable, and has some significant and very useful extensions, as well as being System V make compatible (which is not so important for me). it is also being actively supported by its author. It is also quite a bit more elegant than other extended makes I have seen, e.g. GNU make, if if not quite as cake, which is however a world apart. -- Piercarlo "Peter" Grandi | ARPA: pcg%uk.ac.aber.cs@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Dept of CS, UCW Aberystwyth | UUCP: ...!mcsun!ukc!aber-cs!pcg Penglais, Aberystwyth SY23 3BZ, UK | INET: pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk
