Subject: looking for a RSX that sets the CP/M+ error byte

As most know, submit.com under CP/M+ will skip a line that starts
with the ':' character if the poorly documented CP/M+ error byte is
set.  Most compilers and assemblers (SLR's assemblers are an exception)
don't set the error byte on error.  Sometime back, I remember noticing a
{arc,ark,lbr} released (perhaps by Mike of tektronics?) of make that
generated a .sub file after parsing a makefile - the .sub file used
the ':' mechanism.  Also included were example .mac files to make .RSX's
that attach to Aztec C'c cc.com, as.com and ln.com to monitor the
stderr output setting the error flag if error count reported is
greater than zero.  Does anyone else remember seeing this; what
was the file name?  A large BBS has given me somewhat
priv.access - given the correct filename to search for, I should
be able to find the file on it's backup WORM storage.

Thanks for any and all help,
Larry Moore
