Odd comment?  Why?  I tried it with the "ed" editor.  Does

a lot of weird stuff including inserting flags for the C Compiler

that are not anywhere in the makefile itself.  Doesn't seem to

recognize the section labels at all.  (Like all: clean:, etc. )

Example:


make all

make: Can't find source file to make "all.r"


It's fun to play with it again (I have my system running with two

decent sized IDE disks!) but I am finding very little that works as

expected.


Got "ed" built, but not using either the scripts or the makefile

provided.  Working on SmallC.  Got it to compile (again, not

using the makefile, I compiled it by hand.) but while it worked

fine on other systems it can't even read hello.c.  And all it

really does is read a source file and write out an assembler file.


But I will plug on.  Maybe I can find some utilities that can make

the job easier.
