distribution, I use their perl package manager (ppm) to install modules.
You can invoke the command from a DOS shell using the ppm3 command (if
it's in your path). Use the help command to get more information.
However, it's pretty si

Hi Nigel.
What you are looking for is something that would be distributed in a
compiler package. There are different routes you could follow here, one
being MS, another Open Source packages
If all you need is the make program itself, here is one place to get such a
program:
