Here are several alternatives, ordered from the most recommended down
to the least:
1. Find a version of DTA that doesn't use 16-bit DPMI.
2. Run DJGPP's Make with -n switch, redirect its output to a file,
then invoke that file as a batch file.
3. Get a real-mode version of Make 3.71 from the gnuish directory
on SimTel.NET (/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/dos_only/gmake371.zip)
and use it instead of DJGPP's (it is also a bit different from
DJGPP port of Make 3.77, but much more similar than Borland's
thingy).
4. Roll your own ``micro-Make'': after all, you only need to
rebuild a single type of file, a job that doesn't need a general
purpose dependency checking that Make does. Of course, you will
need to build such a tool with something other than DJGPP.
