OT installing nfbtrans on Debian

[Jude DaShiell]

No, make is a general-purpose tool that can do and does several jobs 
depending on the code in the Makefile.  In nfbtrans specifically make 
lowercase only does part of the dos to unix conversion job.  The unzip 
utility on linux has command line switches to do the job more 
thoroughly.  Had I used the switches in unzip I would not only have had 
everything lowercase those ^m at the ends of lines would also be gone. 
Probably the best way to describe make is that make is a tool for 
managing groups of files.
