The firmware consisted mostly of PL/M and C code and the compilers suffered from the DOS limitation of 127 characters per command line. Dennis Vadura's dmake 3.70 (hosted by the <a href="http://www.uwaterloo.ca/">University of Waterloo</a> and available as DOS version) featured the <code>$(mktmp )</code> macro that let me create any needed temporary config and response files.</p>
