I am pleased to announce that Cook 2.23 is now available.

The cook program is a tool for constructing files,
and maintaining referential integrity between
files.

Cook is a replacement for the traditional make(1)
tool.  However, it is necessary to convert
makefiles into cookbooks using the make2cook
utility included in the distribution.

You are invited to visit
    http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/cook/
for a more complete description of what Cook is,
and access to the download files.  New features and
bug fixes are described in the cook-2.23.README
file.

If you are putting together a source-code
distribution and planning to write a makefile,
consider writing a cookbook instead.  Although Cook
takes a day or two to learn, it is much more
powerful and a bit more intuitive than the
traditional make(1) tool.  And Cook doesn't
interpret tab differently to 8 space characters!
