Subject:	ndmake and @ (my 10 yen's worth)

I used to use NDMake, but I found it choked on the Ghostscript
makefiles (I don't remember why), so I switched to GNU Make.  A recent
post mentioned a real-mode port of GNU Make 3.70 which supposedly
automagically partially supports long command lines (I guess that the
reason the support is partial is that the command itself must support
the response file argument, and the make can't do anything about
that).
    An alternative would be to get a copy of the DOS version of sh.  I
forget the zip file name, but it was something like sh200.zip, and I'm
sure I saw it on a SIMTEL mirror.  There are also commercial tools
with shells that support this kind of long command line.
