Thanks Christopher, oddly enough, Borland's command line preprocessor
doesn't have the problem that I mentioned before either.  In any case, the
Borland configuration of the PP lib avoids ever putting an identifier that
refers to a macro in front of anything but the parameters they expand
against, so the Borland config should work fine.

Thanks again for the info,
