+Short: Port of GNU make with SAS/C (no ixemul.library required)
+Author: GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla
+Uploader: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@fh-konstanz.de)
+Type: dev/c
+
+This is a pure Amiga port of GNU make 3.74. It needs no extra libraries or
+anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of
+GNU make):
+
+- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)
+- Can run multi-line statements
+- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:
+
+	c:make : make.o
+
+    is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE
+    looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target
+    delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note
+    that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".
+- Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:
+
+	if exists make @@\
+	    delete make.bak quiet @@\
+	    rename make make.bak @@\
+	endif @@\
+	$(CC) Link Make.o To make
+
+    works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (ie. "make@@\" is illegal).
+    Also be carefull that there is a space after the "\" (ie, at the
+    beginning of the next line).
+- Can be made resident to save space and time
+- To use "#?" as a wildcard, you must enclose it in "":
+
+    delete "#?.o"
+
+BUGS:
+- The line
+
+    dummy.h : src/*.c
+
+tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (ie. no wildcard-expansion takes
+place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.
+
+COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
+
+To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51. make itself is not neccessary, there
+is an smakefile.
+
+1. Copy config.ami to config.h
+2. If you use make to compie, copy Makefile.ami to Makefile and
+    glob/Makefile.ami to glob/Makefile. Copy make into the current
+    directory.
+
+3. Run smake/make
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+Copy make somewhere in your search path (eg. sc:c or sc:bin).
+If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:
+
+    Resident make Add
