!SLIPdial/Resources/UK/Help/make
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
make <source> <dest>
Makes one file from another, performing variable substitutions. For example,
to create an Autoexec file for !TCPIP. Occurances of "%variable" in the
source file are replaced by the variable value in the output file. Eg:
ip address [%ipaddress]
attach asy %port slip ax0 4096 576 %speed
route add default ax0 [%ip1.%ip2.%ip3.254] 1
becomes:
ip address [134.84.101.42]
attach asy sp_dual 1 slip ax0 4096 576 57600
route add default ax0 [134.84.101.254] 1
Specifying output file contents within scripts:
You can take lines from the script as well as from an input file. Script
lines following the "make" command which have a "+" as the first character
will be used as source lines for the output file (the + character being
stripped off). Specify an input file of "-" to use only these script lines.
If you specify both a real input file and + lines, the + lines will be used
after the input file has been processed.
Comment lines (those beginning with a "#") in the source file are not
transferred to the output file.
