[Coco] OS-9 / NitOS-9 C programmers, lend me your makefiles

[William Carlin]

Jeff,

I saw all the references to EON in the source but I couldn't find any
reference to it on Google.  There is a modern OS called EON but I do not
think it has any relation to the EON referenced in PD Make.

I'll LHArc my source code, copy it up to my Google Drive, and then share
the link here.  The reason I wanted to know how to add empty directories to
the LZH archives was to archive this source code when the time to share it
out was appropriate.
