- I have been using cpp for some real ugly hacks and basically
- now realize why the man pages for it state that it wasn't intended
- for anything but a C pre-processor.
-
- Somehow I learned about the existence of the m4 macro
- processor, and this looks more along the lines of what I want,
- but I cannot glean a heck of a lot from its man page.
-
- Could any kind soul please send a short example of what
- m4 can be made to do, or if there are any simple docs/refs on it,
- I would appreciate those, too. Email only, unless this would be
- of general interest.

- Thanks,
- -russ.
