Subject: MAKE

I second Mark Bergman's request for suggestions about "make".
There was also an inquiry about "make" a few weeks ago, but I
did not see any responses.  So, if anyone can provide a little
summary of the available versions with  locations, advantages and
disadvantages, and post it to djgpp, I think it would be very
useful.

I have tried to use the Thorsten Ohl gnuish MS-DOS port, but
I have not been able to get an uncorrupted executable, and I
don't have the MS-C compiler required to rebuild it.  Yes,
the executable extracted from the official zoo archive, from
wuarchive or iros1, is, as far as I can determine, simply corrupted.
Using Turbo Debugger, I find that the first instruction is a call
to a location filled with zeros.  I am stumped.  I have successfully
downloaded, un-zooed, and run quite a few programs, but "make"
resists all my efforts.  And, Turbo-C make, which I have, is too
different from other versions to be used easily with gnu stuff,
as far as I can see.
