You're right, but I've found using separate preprocessors pretty cumbersome 
and error prone in the past, I usually forget to preprocess the source after I
change it and then wonder why my changes had no effect :-(

BTW, I am an NT developer but am fortunate (?) in having a UNIX box on which I
can look up strange terms link 'm4' in the man pages. Can I make a general 
plea for posters here to remember that java currently runs on both Suns and NT
boxes, so using platform specific terminology may confuse 50% of your 
readership :-)

Andy.
