IIRC, there was a real-mode GNU Make 3.71 or such a long time ago. I remember I archived it (on my old P166), but I never bothered with it much. So it may not be perfect, but it does exist! Perhaps found at GNUish mirror sites. (Dmake also exists, but I doubt it's better. Oops, forgot OpenWatcom has WmakeR [real mode] now too.) BTW, Bart, were you ever cc'd in that email of mine a long time ago re: FDISK's makefile problems? IIRC, it was regarding long cmdlines > 126 bytes that I quoted from an old Turbo C++ 1.0 book. Okay, maybe that's not totally relevant, but I can forward it if interested (or look up similar). I realize that TC 2.01 is slightly different, maybe more limited, but hey, it can't hurt for reference. Just sayin' .... P.S. Bart, thanks for your efforts over the years.
