The *bld* I was referring to comes as part of Kiss <https://kissweb.org> or I also have a stand-alone version here <https://github.com/blakemcbride/Bld>. I will check it out.

If others want to use my stuff they'll have to get used to it. (It is very simple.) Perhaps, if they like it, they'll use it elsewhere. If they're uninterested in my stuff because of the build program I use, that's fine too. I am uninterested in supporting an unnecessarily massively complex and convoluted build system to keep Maven diehards happy. Nor am I interested in bending my program to standards if that means losing important functionality. Blake
