  Hi guys/gals, My father has run into a problem upgrading from Turbo C to
Turbo C++. Yeah, I know upgrading to Turbo C++ instead of Borland C++ is a
little silly, but you know these old-timers ;)

  Anyway, here is the problem.  He's got a lot of #defined macro functions
in his programs, and he calls them with parameters that are also #defines.
This works fine unless he trys to pass more than one parameter as a single
#define.  Here's an sample of code that won't preprocess:

-------
#include <stdio.h>

#define MACROFUNC(x,y) x+y
#define MACROPARAM 5,1

void main()
{

  printf("%d\n",MACROFUNC(MACROPARAM));
}
-------

  Now he claims the Turbo C used to let him do this, but Turbo C++ says
that there aren't enough parameters to the macro function call.
  I tested it with my copy of Borland C++, and with sun's cc, and gcc on the
universities sun 4's, and they all behave the same way as Turbo C++ (i.e.
they won't compile.)
  Finally, my question is: Does anybody know if there is a way to make Turbo
and/or Borland C++ to act like the old Turbo C and compile this, or does my
father have to go and change all of his source code to work with Turbo C++?

			  Thanks for any help you can provide.
