This is CMS Make, a make workalike for VM/CMS systems.
This is not the first make for VM/CMS.
It is at least the second by one author, and there are others.
This make is intended to support the syntax used by make on other
platforms. With care, rules files for CMS Make can be used with any make.
CMS Make provides similar function on CMS systems
as traditional make provides on POSIX systems.
Rules files are visually compatible with standard makefiles,
except that the Tab character can be ordinary white space.
This is a really really simple implementation.
The purpose is to allow a subset of make functionality
which can be used interchangeably between CMS and Unix/Linux/POSIX.
With care, common rules files can be crafted and. It works.
Several commands which work like their Unix/Linux/POSIX counterparts
are included in order to facilitate rules files which work the same
between CMS Make and POSIX/Unix make.
