This depends. For a proposal as complex and pervasive as yours, a preprocessor is certainly a worthy endeavor. A preprocessor would eliminate ambiguity in your spec, and would allow serious testing of the idea. Note also that you could use a modified version of the define adjective which incorporates the preprocessor. Since this would mess up some uses of noun define, you might instead name it Define. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
