Hello, I've just finished reading the gm4 1.0.3 document (dated November 15th, 1992) and have some minor fixes for the doc (which I hope are correct): 1. Section 7.6 (Deleting a macro, page 17): It says "If there is no previous definition, popdef does nothing", which I think you ment to read "...popdef behaves like undefine". Anyway, I didn't expect the behaviour demonstrated in the example from this description. 2. Section 8.3 (Loops and recursion), at page 23: Looks like the second line in the definition of the _forloop macro is intermingled, it prints: '$4''ifelse($1, '$3', , while I think the third quote on the line (the one just before the ifelse) should be a coma, am I right? 3. Section 10.3 (Changing comment delimiters, page 30) says: "..., much as it they were quoted strings." 's/as it/as if/' ? 4. Section 12.1 (Diverting output), page 35 says: "If output is diverted to an non-existent diversion, ...", 's/ an / a /' ? 5. Section 14.2 (Evaluating integer expressions, page 45) says: - Unany minus 's/Unany/Unary/' Thanks for a wonderfull piece of software. --Amos Shapira, CS System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel amoss@cs.huji.ac.il
