A better way, with permission, might be to do the following:
modify the ecrm.mf etc. driver files to say:
gendef ... u# ...
if known expandu: u#:=u#+expandu/1000*u#; fi
and then the ecrm1000+20.mf will just need to add the line
expandu:=+20;
Perhaps it can even go in the definition of generate in exbase? But I
don't like that idea so much.
