It's just a pre-processor. It's described in detail in the book "Software Tools" bu Kernighan and Plauger (there are two editions -- one uses Fortran and one uses Pascal). Despite its age this is *still* a fine book -- it teaches you the Unix concept of software tools and explains the underlying philosophy. It's a MUST if you haven't read it or an equivalent (is there one?). -- Ed Nather Astronomy Dept, U of Texas @ Austin {allegra,ihnp4}!{noao,ut-sally}!utastro!nather nather@astro.AS.UTEXAS.EDU
