Rob,

You might want to contact Dave Goldblatt (dave@sun.soe.clarkson.edu).
He had no trouble getting GhostScript to compile with Turbo C 1.5.
(He's having some trouble with Turbo C 2.0, which I haven't had the
chance to track down yet.)

I find that a single makefile works a lot better than trying to keep
two makefiles in sync.  For the next release, the makefile will be
substantially simpler -- some of what's in there now is leftovers from
the days when I was trying to cater to Microsoft make, which, compared
to both Unix and Turbo make, is really brain-damaged.

If you have suggestions for simplifying the way the makefile works on
the PC (which is what accounts for most of the complexity), I'd like to
hear them.

	- P. D.
