Due to typical AT&T brain damage, this does not work in System V, where the backslash-newline is turned into a space (idiots!). A method guaranteed to work anywhere is #define IDENT(x)x #define CAT(a,b)IDENT(a)b Be sure that you use CAT(x,y) instead of, e.g., CAT(x, y), since the white space is part of the macro argument. -- Jim Balter, Interactive Systems (ima!jim)
