j_lib2 -- Library for Useful Functions
Objects in this library goes back decades, some started out
on MS-DOS and a little known Unix called IN/ix (a 16 bit
Unix on a proprietary 8086 clone).
To build, execute gen_make.sh to generate a Makefile for
most BSD/Linux systems and IBM AIX. makefile.dos can be
used for MS-DOS Systems under Microsoft c.
GNU automake
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automake
only confuses me, so I came up with my own method which is a
real hack. But works for me.
