I'm pretty sure you have a very old version of cawf.  I believe the
definition file handling was corrected 91/11/07 (that's what rlog tells
me.  :-)  I'm not sure what your problem with the .SS macro might be.

You can get the latest cawf (version 4.02) via anonymous ftp from
ftp.cc.purdue.edu (128.210.24.1) in pucc/cawf.sh.Z.  It's a compressed
shell archive.  One caution: until later today (probably until 1830Z on
92/12/30) the ftp.cc distribution will have sources for version 4.02 but
the MS-DOS CAWF.EXE file will be from version 4.01.  I'll correct that
discrepancy.
