But still not that close on VMS. For starters, here are some things I noticed: 1.) There are several instances of the string: bin/instmodsh in various targets, though EXE_FILES does now show instmodsh in native syntax. 2.) The ci target has a single command that is too long for the command buffer. 3.) The IGNORE prefix needs to have space after it and before the command it prefixes. This is the same as for the SILENT prefix. However, when both prefixes appear together, there must be no space between the two prefixes but there must be space before the command they prefix. See section 2.6.4 of your MMS manual. 4.) The following macro is defined and is used in the shdist target: SHAR = vms_share There is no such native command as vms_share. If I knew more about the intention, I might be able to suggest an alternative.
