Hi Howard,
	On my 10.2.8 Mac, make is in /usr/bin.  Here's what I get when I type 
"ls -l /usr/bin/*make" at a Terminal prompt:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  234621 Jul 14  2002 /usr/bin/automake*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  119636 Oct  9 10:44 /usr/bin/bsdmake*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  152220 Oct  9 10:44 /usr/bin/gnumake*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel       7 Feb 25 11:08 /usr/bin/make@ -> gnumake

	If you type that command, you should get essentially the same thing 
(different dates perhaps).  If so, then it simply means that the 
directory /usr/bin isn't on your execution path, and therefore 'make' 
is not found when you type it at the Terminal prompt.  To correct that, 
you can either type the full path (/usr/bin/make) or put /usr/bin on 
your execution path by typing "set path = (/usr/bin $path)".  You can 
put the latter in your ~/.tschrc file so that it happens automatically 
at startup.
	If your 'ls' command output isn't similar to the above, then something 
is wrong with your dev tools installation.  If so, I can compile a 
version of MinRMS for you.  Let me know.
