Module Management System (MMS) is a utility for automating building of software systems, part of DECset. It is similar to Unix make and uses description files that describe how to build the system, which are then executed by MMS.

Targets are OpenVMS files that need to be built, e.g. EXE or OBJ files.

Sources are OpenVMS files that are used to build targets, e.g. OBJ or C or PAS files.

Action lines are OpenVMS commans that MMS executes. Action lines start with at least one space.
