- This situation is far from the impossible.
-
- I have already done this for Herman, several years ago, using a macro
- interpreter I wrote called LOME.
- When I sent him the results, along with the source of the interpreter,
- he completely failed to answer me. The next time he posted this problem,
- I said "I already answered that" via email, and he replied "I didn't
- understand".
-
- So the answer is that he wants it exactly his way but doesn't seem to
- want to learn how to use what's out there to get that. While I
- sympathise with some of his points, this macro-bashing bit is getting a
- bit old.
