Failing that get one that includes source. I do all my development (both DOS and Unix) on my Unix system with vpix. I have banged on GNU Make until it now knows how to make .obj and .exe files from either .c or .asm files and I now can use a single source tree to create executables for both systems. This would have been clumsy and difficult if not impossible under a make that I couldn't modify. -- D'Arcy J.M.
