Re: A XyWrite Programming Preprocessor

["Kari Eveli" lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

The trick is to find something that allows comments to be read in non-eXPanded view without adding a lot of baggage that slows down the program. I like Wally Bass's strategy of using a simple IF statement ("1<0") that evaluates to False, so that execution jumps to the next EndIf. Like this: BC es 1XC ≪IF1<0~≫ Turn Error Suppression ON............. More comments here, if you like........................... ≪EI~≫program continues here Ok. That is quite feasible if you make an ad hoc program. But less so, if the routines are an integral part of your Xy engine.
