Tim Kientzle's make is the only "make" for os9 that I have ever been aware 
of that worked.  ISTR there was something called Make in the dev pack kit, 
but it was little more than a script IIRC. ISTR it worked for the examples 
in the kit, but would have needed heavy editing for a "power user".

And while I have had some canned Makefile's that worked flawlessly with 
Tims make, my understanding of the interactions of a Makefile have 
conspired to make me use cc-2.5.2 as it is much much easier to configure, 
for me at least.  No idea where I missed it, but lisp and I, even in my 
amiga days, were never on a first name basis, and that is what a Makefile 
for Tims make reminds me of.

Tim is still around I believe, but I've no idea how to contact him today, 
and haven't googled for him in 5 or so years now.
