Description:	A general-purpose macro processor that uses pattern matching and replacement. It can be used as a pre-processor or to translate one language to another, or to extract selected information from files.
Features:	Does not impose any particular syntax for macro calls. No built-in assumptions about input language syntax. Can recognize patterns spanning multiple lines. Handles recursive patterns, such as matching pairs of nested parentheses. Different sets of rules can be used in different contexts. Easy to ignore redundant white space.
Requires:	ANSI C compiler
Ports:	Unix, MS-DOS, Windows/NT
Updated:	May 23rd, 1995
