Yah. Keeping my _sed & awk_ and _Programming Perl_ within reach isn't a
matter of life and death -- it's much more important than that.
But make is really a simple tool. I wonder just how useful an entire book for
it would be. The last one I saw quickly degenerated into Stupid Make Tricks,
which typically were no more tricky than using shell commands or spawning awk
and dc.

| (...) MSPwM is more than just stupid Make tricks. It's a great book. Make may be a simple tool, like so many other unix tools, but you can do very very complex things with it which is why it's such a great tool... (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
