These files are the build script (Makefile or configuration management script), and the file-out script for the Musical Object Development Environment (MODE). They are included here as examples of this type of configuration management for a large Smalltalk application.

The build script is a text file containing executable Smalltalk-80 expressions that will compile (file in) the entire MODE application (>200 classes) into a "virgin" Smalltalk-80 virtual image and perform up the proper initialization and set-up. Normally one such build script exists for every application, and every programmer has a build script for his or her personal changes to the system (see the file STPWorld.bld).

The file-out script can be used to "dump" the entire source code of the MODE from within a working image, i.e., to generate an up-to-date version of the source files at any time.

The complete source code for MODE is available via anonymous Internet ftp from the server ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu in the directory pub/st80, or from various other Smalltalk archives (e.g., cs.uiuc.edu).
