readme - GNUish MS-DOS m4 -*-Text-*-
Copyright (C) 1990 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Thorsten Ohl <td12@ddagsi3.bitnet>
This is GNU m4, Version 0.5, for MS-DOS.
USAGE
Full documentation and source can be ftp'd from prep.ai.mit.edu.
(If you don't have ftp, send "HELP" to <bitftp@pucc.bitnet>.)
HACKING
The makefile assumes that you have the GNUish MS-DOS gnulib. You can
get it from the same place where you got this file.
Patch will report a few matches with fuzz, if you apply `patches' to the
original sources. This is caused by ignoreing whitespace in the diffs
and is harmless. (But it saves 50% space in `patches').
The port of obstack.c and obstack.h is still experimental. I think that
I have made it digestable by Microsoft C 5.1 & 6.0. But I do not claim
that the solution is very beautiful.
Since the obstacks can be very useful, I will put them into the next
gnulib release. If you have comments, suggestions, etc., please send
them. I'm particularly interested in code to support other MS-DOS
compilers.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to <rreiner@nexus.yorku.ca> for debugging a pre-release. And
thanks to Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> for convincing me
that GNUish MS-DOS is useful.
Enjoy it,
-Thorsten <td12@ddagsi3.bitnet>
