I've been using the recently posted version of MAKE with the alcon compiler
since it was posted several weeks ago. It sure beats clicking all over the
place! However, there are two nagging problems which maybe others have
experienced, and maybe someone has a solution to.


1) Compillations with errors (who ever has those?) continue blythely
on, and produce binaries which appear to later phases of make to be
just (or almost  just) fine. Looks like either alcon doesn't return
with an error code, or it doesn't get through gemdos to make.


2) Alternative efforts to redirect standard out to a file (so I don't have
to babysit compilations) have failed. The developers' batch.prg isn't
documented that I have found. Things like

	make make >listfile

don't work. I've tried a few, but someone, please enlighten me.


3) When I make make, I get a make.prg which produces the error message:

	make: no memory for name

Now that's the same blind alley that I encountered when I tried to make make
on the earlier distribution of make, some 6 months or so ago. Currently
I'm thinking its something wrong with my alcon (distribution 4/86) or
gemstart (there was some net mail 3-4 months ago about malloc and Malloc).
Has anybody put this one together?
