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.
I don't know what the problem is, but I certainly have had little to
complain of with the GNUish make:
c:\>\bin\gnumake -v
GNU Make version 3.58, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

MS-DOS port (C) 1990 by Thorsten Ohl <td12 AT ddagsi3 DOT bitnet>
this is a beta version, compiled Sep 10 1990, 01:56:20.
gnumake.exe: No targets. Stop.
c:\>
I have also never had MSC in any version above 4.0, so I certainly
didn't compile the executable from scratch. It almost certainly came
from wuarchive or SIMTEL20. Note that it is a BETA copy from 1990,
however! Such as this one, on wuarchive.wustl.edu, in the directory
/mirrors/msdos/gnuish/:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root archive 223462 Oct 4 1990 make358.arc
I've gone so far as to check the archive's contents:

...and the make.exe is exactly the same size, date and time as mine.
Try that one.
