Someone might want to obtain this more portable version of pmake and see
if it will compile on the Athena platforms without a lot of work. Pmake
is useful to have around if you want to compile occasional BSD 4.4 programs
and don't feel like translating their new-age pmake Makefiles into
traditional make.

I've ported pmake (the 4.4BSD make) to a few more platforms.
Having gotten used to pmake on BSDI, I wanted to use it on the other
Unix systems I use. Using archie, I found a port that works on SunOS
and Linux,
mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu:/pub/linux/distributions/slackware_source/d/pmake/pmake.v1.0.tar.gz
I've also now ported it to
Ultrix 4.2
Irix 5.2
Solaris 2.3 (sparc)
HP-UX 9.01
Mostly the ports involved #ifdeffing BSD-isms to optionally use
POSIXisms instead.
It now compiles on DEC Alpha OSF/1 1.3 but dumps core, probably due to
a pointer/int problem.
The more portable version is now available on
ftp.eng.umd.edu:/pub/misc/pmake-1.0a.tar.gz
If there's still an official place where someone's maintaining pmake,
I'd like to know about it -- there aren't any such email addresses in
the copy that I started with.
