CKVMAK.HLP                      VMS MAKE                          April 1991

A "make" program for VAX/VMS, written by Todd Aven, the Software Sweatshop,
564 Laurelton Blvd, Long Beach, NY 11561, may be used for building VMS
C-Kermit.  From the MAKE.C source file:

   "This software may be freely copied and distributed with the
   following stipulations: No fee except to recover costs of media and
   delivery may be charged for the use or possession of this software.
   Sources to this utility must be made available in machine-readable
   form along with the executable form.  No portion of this program may
   be used in any program sold for a fee.  This copyright notice must
   not be removed."

To install VMS MAKE on your VAX VMS computer:

1. Make a new directory on your VAX/VMS system and SET DEFAULT to it.

2. Transfer the files CKVMAK.HEX and CKVDEH.MAR in text mode into the new
   directory.

3. MACRO CKVDEH

4. LINK CKVDEH

5. RUN CKVDEH

6. In response to the filename prompt, type "ckvmak.hex".

7. The file VMSMAK.BAK is produced.

8. BACKUP VMSMAK.BAK/SAVE *.*

9. The source, documentation, and executable files will appear in your
   directory.  The make program itself is MAKE.EXE.

10. Install MAKE.EXE as a VMS command (or you can just RUN it).

If it turns out that the MAKE.EXE from this saveset was built on a later
version of VMS than you have, you won't be able to run it.  In that case,
you can rebuild it from the source files:

$ On Control_Y Then Goto The_Exit
$ On Error Then Goto The_Exit
$ cc make.c/obj=make.obj
$ cc mstring.c/obj=mstring.obj
$ cc cmdline.c/obj=cmdline.obj
$ set command makecmd.cld/object=makecmd.obj
$ cc dates.c/obj=dates.obj
$ link make.obj,-
        mstring.obj,-
        cmdline.obj,-
        makecmd.obj,-
        dates.obj,-
        make.opt/opt
$ runoff /variant=doc /output=make.doc make.rno
$ runoff /variant=help /output=make.hlp make.rno
$The_Exit:
$ Save_Status = $STATUS
$ exit Save_Status

To make VMS C-Kermit, SET DEFAULT to the C-Kermit source file directory,
rename the file CKVKER.MAK to MAKEFILE and then type "make" (or "run make",
or "run dev:[dir]make").
