i grabbed the entire emx 0.9d release from hobbes before it was moved
and/or broken up... much much (did i say MUCH?) easier than trying to grab
this and that and then try to make it work...

now, why'd i do all that? because i want/need to recompile my Apache web
server... the OS/2 release from the official Apache site lacks a few
modules that i want to use...

EMX recommended getting DMAKE38 which i have (and DMAKE40 in my online
files archives) but i'm not able to figure out how to use dmake to compile
anything... i'm not used to this method as i'm still pretty much a DOSbased
Turbo Pascal type guy... put it all in one place and hit F9 or ALT-F9 and
it's all done but the running of it...

he'p me! he'p me! he'p me understand this stuff and what i'm doing wrong...
supposedly i can use dmake to recompile itself... the DMAKE38 archive has
dmake.exe that shows a emx0.9a text string in it as viewed with a hex
editor... i wanted to test by recompiling an emx 0.9d version but that
fails miserably... supposedly there's also a make.cmd file but i haven't
found one that isn't hardcoded in it's actions...

 maybe i need more meds or something... jolt gives me heart
palpatations these days and just smelling coffee anymore puts me on the
ceiling... OB-)
