[Coco] OS-9 / NitOS-9 C programmers, lend me your makefiles

[Jeff Teunissen]

More information discovered about our favorite Make:

It was originally written for an OS I have never heard of, called
"eon", by someone named Neil Russell. I surmise Neil had been either
working or studying at an Australian university when he wrote it, from
his ACSNet email address.

A later version Neil posted in December 1986, though, suggested he was
by then working at Fairlight (makers of the Fairlight CMI digital
music workstation) and had ported it to OS-9 (whether 6809 or OSK, I
do not know). This is still not the same program we know on the CoCo,
because it doesn't read a /DD/Sys/Make.default data file for its
defaults -- they're compiled in.

Still, some interesting history there that I will have to integrate into CoCoC.
