Mike's Macros: Macros and Dependencies

Macros and Dependencies

Version 2.41

March 24, 2010

Explanation: The following is a list of macros which depend on other macros as procedures. That is, they do not work unless the dependent macro is in the same directory when they are compiled. Status Alpha means it doesn't yet work for me in its current form, and I have not yet included it in those available from my Web site. Beta means it works for me but has not been fully tested. Release means it works in all circumstances on my machine, and I hope it will work the same on yours. Under each macro are the procedures it uses, which need to be in the Local directory for the macro to function. The Procedures have an extension of ".proc," which shows that they only are compiled as a part of a macro.

Variables: S1$ through S4$ are temporary strings passed to other procedures which get cleared. S5$ through S9$ are strings which keep their values between macros. p1 through p9 and p1$ through p9$ are temporary variables within procedures which get cleared.
