(I mentioned this earlier in this thread) we have experience generating old makefiles and bootstrap scripts from the original ast nmake makefiles the generated mamfiles used by bin/package make on systems that don't have ast nmake are the proof of concept the lack of "lint" "clean" "tgz" etc. is due to the fact that these common actions are supported in a generic way via the nmake base rules which are in scope for all makefiles provide a short description of what is expected in an old makefile and I'll take a stab at generating them for the ksh bootstrap build I assume iffe (roughly a generic ast "config/configure") will still be a part of the build also, I hope that the ksh93 regression tests are being used to test these alternate builds -- apple ignored them altogether and a bug in the tiger release recv(PEEK) implementation rendered ksh stdin==pipe useless -- Glenn Fowler -- AT&T Research, Florham Park NJ --
