You can't get away with a comment like that and just } walk off 8-). } How come? :-) } M4GL? What is it? Where is it? Can I get it? What does it work with? } The public (well us at least) have a right to know! } M4GL is a Macro Preprocessor and Code Generator for 4GL. The manual I have is dated August 2, 1988 and is version 1.00. The complete package consists of a shell script "c4gm" and a binary "m4gl". The c4gm script is almost identical to the c4gl script except for the calls to m4gl. I'm guessing that it is proprietary but who knows... anyone from Informix care to comment on this?
