Dmake was written by Dennis Vadura of the University of Waterloo,
and is avaiable for anonymous ftp from the U. of W:
   watmsg.uwaterloo.ca.  Address is 129.97.129.9.

It is in the pub/src directory, set your mode to binary, and copy either:
   dmake-3.6.tar.Z		- compressed tar format
   dmake-3.6.zoo		- zoo archive

It was posted to comp.sources.misc, and patches went to comp.sources.bugs.
If you get it from somewhere other than Waterloo (it's bound to be at a
number of archive sites), be sure you get the patched version.  This is
only of minor significance unless you'll be running on DOS.  The unpatched
DOS code has some problems.

I have used dmake a great deal and have even worked a little on internals.
It's as good as any make, far better than most, and supports a wide
number of platforms.  I use it to maintain a ROM-based system that also
runs in emulator form on DOS, 2 versions of Unix and 286 and 386 Xenix.
Dmake is the only thing I know that can handle it.  I also use it
for my routine making, though.

Recommended without reservation.
