m4 A {macro} processor for {Unix} and {GCOS} which is more flexible than {cpp}. m4 copies its input to the output, expanding macros which can be either built-in or user-defined. m4 has built-in functions for including files, running {Unix} commands, doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways and recursing. m4 can be used either as a {front-end} to a compiler or as a stand-alone tool. {sendmail}'s configuration file (/etc/sendmail.cf) is writen in m4 macros. There is a {GNU m4 v1.1 (ftp://gnu.org/pub/gnu/m4-1.0.tar.Z)} by Francois Pinard by Ozan Yigit {FreeBSD} archive). A {Macintosh} version is {here (ftp://nic.switch.ch/pub/software/mac/src/mpw-c/)}.
