I just wanted  to mention that ATT's Unix Toolchest, which allows you to
sign up for software which is delivered electronically, provies a tool
call "makefile", which will read through your software in the current
directory, and generate a makefile for you.  If there is a makefile there,
it will keep any comments you had when it produces the new one.  It is
available (source!) for a reasonable price, only $95.  I didn't note what
the binary sublicensing fee is, but I doubt it is a lot if the original price
is only $95.

The number for the toolchest (in case any missed it) is 201-522-6900.  It is
a 1200 Baud dial-in, which puts you into a cute little menu system, with
pop-up help menues, and everything.
